I just added the sstree project to advogato. This is a project that I spun out of ReadySET. sstree is a super-simple CSS and JS tree widget. It is small and simple, but it is useful and, I hope, a good starting point for others to use. ReadySET uses it to organize the list of all its software engineering templates (e.g., test plans, use cases, feature specs).

I have a new idea that I think is pretty cool: log-structured web sites. This is not a blog, although it could be used for that or any other kind of website. The advantage is that all site content is cacheable and updates to a complex website reach end-users quickly. I might use this idea in the successor to readyset.

I recently launched the ReadySET project to help promote better software engineering practices.

I have restarted the tigris.org reading group.
