Cocoal.icio.us Open Source
Good news for anyone who has ever wished Cocoal.icio.us did X or had Y: now you have the power to make your dreams come true (well, your software-related ones anyway). You heard me right: I finally made good on my promise to clean up the Cocoal.icio.us project and open source the code. Cocoal.icio.us is now in CVS and has a project page at SourceForge. The code (complete with an Xcode project) can be checked out anonymously using the following CVS commands:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/cocoalicious login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/cocoalicious co cocoalicious
(Update: Thanks to Sean Santry for pointing out the errors in the previously posted commands. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate CVS?)
This doesn’t mean I’m abandoning Cocoal.icio.us development by any means, just that I recognize that it’s going to take a lot more than the precious few hours I can devote to side project development every week to acheive its full potential. I’ve already had my homeboy Andrew Wooster working on a particularly exciting new feature that we should be able to check in shortly (I’m going keep it a surprise for now), and just having one other developer on the project has made me very optimistic about Cocoal.icio.us’ future.
So, if you’re a Cocoa developer interested in working on a cutting-edge project that encompasses many of today’s hottest buzzwords (desktop search, folksonomies, faceted classification, web services, REST) and OS X technologies (Cocoa Bindings, SearchKit, NSXML, WebKit, Foundation URL APIs) you might want to have a look.
