hi folks!
m looking 4 a framework, that allows to build static community software
(similar to facebook) without having to start scripts, database
connects, admin cookies, e.t.c.
means - should be dynamic without really being dynamic, delivering just
static pages. (yes, i know e.g. nginx does that by caching, thats not
what i want!)
features wanted:
a not database driven
b password access ist done by just renaming users home directory. User
at logout will receive new secret subdirectory name 4 new login.
c no clientside scripting. changing layout will be done by rebuilding
all relevant static pages in user directory once by serverside script.
d new entries e.g. mail, discussions will be queued, user just sees: tnx
4 your new article, page will be rebuilt in ... estimated 3 seconds ...
or estimated 10 seconds ... depending on load and todo queue length.
e load balancing is done by just replicating static pages between
servers after new rebuild of static pages.
f simulation of received mail directory through just rebuilding relevant
static html tree. attachments not allowed.
g intelligent todo queue 4 resorting mail sent, received, discussions,
look and feel before rebuilding static user pages. (herein lies the
intelligence of the whole system)
h notifications 4 new mail, messages, e.t.c. are just updates in static
html fields. if user gets offline (measured by time since last update of
static pages) user will be informed once a day by mail.
i simulation of locking can easily be done by dotfiles.
j according 2 my calculations such system should be able 2 satisfy any
bandwidth without causing significant load of cpu, due 2 low protocol
overhead and no server side scripting, no database load. overload of
server should not possible by design.
k modules, addon 4 twitter e.g., nice 2 have
(and no, no java!) any pointers?
tnx in advance, Guido Stepken
