The author of the IndieWeb ring has moved the codebase to PHP. heh. Heh. HEH.

Wow, thanks for digging in to this! I am definitely interested in your setup for PHPUnit!

Ordering for previous / next in the ring is also something I’m open to discussion on. Join-time makes some sense, but always felt limiting. I’ve been thinking of implementing it entirely separately from the Sites table, so it’s easy to try out different algorithms. I think it’d be fun to change up the sorting periodically.

Please let me know if you post your version somewhere. I realize using my personal git hosting makes things like pull requests a lot more challenging. I’m open to mirroring gem-diamond to Github if you’re interested in collaborating there.

Thanks for the reply, Marty. I've put my copy of the code on Github, critiques welcome of course. I'm definitely interested in collaborating, the alternative would be getting an account on your git repository if you'd like to keep it close. My current favourite idea for the Sites table is having Next and Previous links in the table; since each entry only has one Next/Previous having a separate table seems a needless join. It's simple enough to roll back database changes to try different …

He posted about his own updates in Playing with IndieWeb ring's code, and I posted a follow-up with …
