ish.io

Welcome to the ish website. *.ish.io is simply somewhere we can put tools that we work with and talk about what we’re doing with them.

The tools aren’t necessarily designed to work together but do so quite well. All of the tools have a common idealogy being that they were developed to solve a generic problem for which we had a specfic application.

We’re not trying to create a new web framework but if we can create the tools to help somebody else do that we’ll consider the job a “good ‘un”

News¶

Well the site has only just launched so not much news as such..

Getting Help and Contacting Us¶

We're using Google Groups for all discussion. Please join the ish.io group to ask questions, send ideas, or just to chat about related topics.

Getting the latest versions¶

We're using the python package index as our main source of downloads (http://pypi.python.org) which means you can just easy_install {projectname}.

We've also setup a github account which will have the very latest sources.. http://github.com/ish

See each project's overview page for direct links.

Who are ish?¶

At the moment ish is Matt Goodall and Tim Parkin, two developers from Leeds in England. We're hoping that other people might like to help if they find the software useful.

Anything more coming?¶

As it happens, yes. Tim is working on a restish CouchDB backed CMS with an automatic administration system. Matt is working on a CouchDB python session wrapper (to roll up lots of operations against a dictionary into a single bulk couchdb update). We also have a formbuilder module that allows you to use json or yaml to construct formish forms.. Hopefully we'll post a few bits about these in the next month or so.
