Hey, it only took 16 months of people hitting this blog from Google searches like "+cruisecontrol +weblog" but my first and so far only contribution to the CruiseControl project now seems to be in :)

Looking at what I had written brings up interesting notions about how my preference towards smaller methods has strengthened enormously since 2004. Part of the reason for the big methods (and the big class in general) in the WeblogPublisher was that I wanted to keep it all in one source file. In hindsight, I can't figure out why I thought it would be somehow inappropriate to introduce a subdirectory...

Maybe I'll submit another patch for a refactored version some day. Right now, I honestly don't have the time--I'm busybusybusy with getting my manuscript ready for the 2/3 review.

Oh, and if you're wondering what does the output look like from the WeblogPublisher, take a peek at my old postings from 2004.


I was hoping that you'd noticed! Very very sorry about the long long delay. I do hope that "better late than never" does apply here, and also that if you do get around to submitting your refactoring that we can be a bit faster about getting it committed.
It's all good, Jeffrey. Besides, there's been plenty of what I'd consider more important development going on in the last year or so!
