I know it looks like not much has been happening with Groupie, but it's moving along there. Internally we're using Groupie 1.1 and "Real Soon Now" I'll be releasing Groupie 1.2 with mailing list support, scratchpad and new modules for indexing and dynamically retrieving articles/content.

So what's the hold up?? Lot's of things really, other work is one... but the thing that is making me hold back is the lack of good doco for Groupie, one thing I want to fix before the release. So if you want to help out let me know.

I've updated my build of nbgit plugin to work with the latest updates of Netbeans 6.9 -> org-nbgit.nbm

I finally managed to get the time to release the GSParse Grails plugin. GSParse lets you add GSP tags and data binding to resource files like Javascript and CSS so you can insert context relative paths to images, controllers etc. It also lets you set up variables and do a bit of scripting in these files. The files still live in your web-app/js or web-app/css directories and are still .js or .css files so your IDE recognises them. You can read more on the GSParse product page.

I downloaded the source and built the git plugin for Netbeans 6.9 because the old nbm module I used with 6.8 didn't seem to work. As a little service here is the git plugin for 6.9 nbm I built -> org-nbgit.nbm

We had an Internet outage today. Internode, our ISP, who normally do a great job had a problem in the ACT region causing a lot of their ADSL customers to have no access - it took 10 hours to fix - which is, well, a long time on the internet.

nerdErg is looking to make a more reliable backup service available in future, sorry for the inconvenience.
