- Changed the RSS export routines slightly so only the first
paragraph of an entry is included in the channel since
userland.com's parser was choking on some entries.
+ I now think this is caused by something else. I'll
look into it. I think this behavior will become an option,
in case you only want to export teasers for your content -
not the entirity of your content.
- Graceful degradation happens in the sidebar now. If no
sidebar/rdfsources or sidebar/links files are in place, things
carry on silently.
- New attribute for the <weblog> entity in dong.conf - "public".
If set as "true", the RSS dump of the current page definition will
be included in the sidebar of all pages defined by the current
configuration file. They will appear under the heading "Section
Index". If no entities contain it, the section heading will not
appear.
- Basic navigation controls for historical entries.
0.6
- minclude/rdf-import.inc and minclude/rdf-export.inc have been
renamed as rss-(im|ex)port.inc because they really are not
RDF-related. There's an awful lot of interchange of those terms
out there, but I don't think it's correct, somehow.
- Permalinks enabled via &para; characters under the datestamp.
- RSS export now includes <link> elements pointing to an article's
permalink URL.
- A couple more bits of code moved into minclude/misc.inc to clear
up some code duplication.
0.1 to 0.5

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
Public License instead of this License.

Unpack the archive so that index.php3 is in a directory that your web
server can see, and you preserve the directory structure of the archive.
Rename dong.conf.default to dong.conf. How's that? Oh, I'm assuming you've
got PHP working (version 3 is fine, should work with 4) first.
Edit the files in mindong/content - these are the blog entries. Read the
ones that are there first, they form the majority of the documentation right
now.
Edit mindong/sidebar/links - These are the links down the right-hand side
of the page. Just look at the file. It should be obvious.
Now turn your attention to dong.conf - the fields there should be pretty
obvious. Make your changes.
One non-obvious part of dong.conf may be the fields of the <weblog> tag.
I'm going to have to write a full DTD one day, but for now ...
<weblog name="froglog" main="true">
"name" and "main" are the only supported fields right now.
"name" is a short name for your blog content. This is used as the name of the
directory to look in for your content. In this case, 'blog entries will be
searched for in froglog/content, sidebar stuff in froglog/sidebar.
"main" indicates that this entry is the default. If you only have one
<weblog> section, you can safely omit it. If you have multiple <weblog>
sections, one of them should be nominated as default. If no entries are
default, the first entry in the file will be used when no specific content
is requested via the URL.
To specify a particular set of content, use the "name" field from the
<weblog> section in the request URL like so;
http://www.grouse.net.au/~mike/index.php3?page=personal
The above URL will look for a weblog definition with the name "personal"
and content directories as subdirectories of a "personal" directory.
That's really badly described, isn't it? Play around with it. I don't
think I've been TOO obscure.

README Normal file

So what is this thing? This "Minimalist Dong" you find yourself rummaging
through?
It's weblog management software. Very basic - hence the "Minimalist". The
interface is all text, although you could easily put graphics into it. As
it ships, it passes HTML 4.01-Strict validation, but you can easily mangle
that too. Try not to, OK? :)
It can import and export content in RSS 0.91 formatted XML files, the
Netscape channel format, allowing you to easily syndicate content from
other sites, and have your own content syndicated by others.
It'll do more things when we get to version 1.0 - and then I'm going to
think about "Maximus" - but that's for later. Maximus will have the
functions of Minimalist Dong as a baseline, but many more funky things
besides. It will require much more in the way of resources than
Minimalist.
Minimalist Dong should require nothing more than a fairly standard build
of PHP and a web server.

# Minimalist Dong
In the year 2001, I wrote a blog called Minimalist Dong. This involved not just writing the content for it but also the software to make it go, as was the style at the time. This is that software. The README and INSTALL files are exactly as I've found them, and this thing you're reading now is the only new thing.
This has been uploaded from a working/test copy that I left unpacked in an old home directory that made it into my backups somehow, and is not the exact contents of the minimalistdong-0.7a.tar.gz release file. All the actual release archives appear to have been lost to time. I've put a couple of files back, deleted some things, and left some stuff like an alternate style sheet that was hanging around.
## Don't use this
The file extension is .php3 for god's sake, that alone should be a red flag. Will it even run in ... whatever we're up to now? I hope not. There's no separation of code and content, the HTML is right there in the body and includes things like this:
```
<h1><?php print "<a href=\"$config[URL]\">$config[SITETITLE]</a>"; ?></h1>
```
There are some enlightening things in the mindong/content folder, which are the blog entries for the software itself. I was very, very keen on XML in the year 2001, and it shows. There's a second blog section in the faq folder that you can take a look at as well.
The default contents of the links and rdfsources files have been modified, as almost all the links were invalid now, and ... well the RDF stuff won't be there either but I left a couple of examples in there for what it looked like.
## What's its deal?
The point of this was to be able to write my blog entries in a text editor in a terminal. The files were plain text, and ordered by the file creation timestamp on the filesystem. Could backups and copying have messed up your entire blog sequence? Oh yes. I planned to add a simple header format at some point with date and meta information, in much the same way static generators do things today!
The FAQ included this entry on the design philosopy:
> Design Philosophy
>
> Minimalist Dong has only two firm critera for its development.
>
> Firstly, all a user requires to run a Minimalist Dong site is a web server
> that supports PHP version 3 with some fairly standard configuration
> options. No databases, no administrative rights on the server and no
> specific platform. A user with the correct environment should be able to
> unpack it and start running things almost immediately.
>
> Secondly, the interface will be text. No graphic elements will ever be
> required in the default configuration. You're free to add them, of course,
> but you'll never require them.
>
> It is because of this philosophy that the software gains the term
> "Minimalist". Any feature that can be implemented without breaking these
> rules will be considered.

Why "Minimalist Dong"?
Something ##nikolai#http://www.very.net/~nikolai## wrote ...
Shitsu-Tonka. We of maked MINIMALIST DONG, maked a lot of, more than of
digital watch that buy of American magazine TIME to give away to lucky
reader.
MINIMALIST DONG is wary, always, even in raining.
MINIMALIST DONG make stong men weep, make weepy men stong, but what she do
to stong weepy women we can not say about. Just to say weepy no more, but
knuckles closer to ground! Always tell correct time!
MINIMALIST DONG soft on inside, stong and not crack on outside, inside
too. Press button on end and can hear TRUCK DRIVER DIVORCE loud and soft
too. and soon many more soon to choose from, ZOOT ALLURES soon. MONTANA,
soon. BABY SNAKES too, soon, but not copyrighted yet, here.
MINIMALIST DONG batteries INCLUDED!
MINIMALIST DONG smoke but not inhale.
MINIMALIST DONG not banned by Geneva Convention.
MINIMALIST DONG. You will be assimilated. Resistance is irrelevant.

Design Philosophy
Minimalist Dong has only two firm critera for its development.
Firstly, all a user requires to run a Minimalist Dong site is a web server
that supports PHP version 3 with some fairly standard configuration
options. No databases, no administrative rights on the server and no
specific platform. A user with the correct environment should be able to
unpack it and start running things almost immediately.
Secondly, the interface will be text. No graphic elements will ever be
required in the default configuration. You're free to add them, of course,
but you'll never require them.
It is because of this philosophy that the software gains the term
"Minimalist". Any feature that can be implemented without breaking these
rules will be considered.

Generic Entry
You just write stuff in files like this, you know? I keep them named after
dates (might make it easier to build archives later). Highest numbers are
at the top of the page.
Here's a ##stupid link#http://www.grouse.net.au/~mike/allyourbase.swf## to
click on, which demonstrates the link shorthand. Of course, there's
nothing stopping you from doing it <a href="http://www.very.net">the

Some Limitations
A single line shouldn't be more than 300 characters. If you're using URL
shorthand, keep each link together on one line. Multiple shorthand links
on one line are just fine though.
There are undoubtably bugs. ##mail me#mailto:mike@grouse.net.au## about
them.

Oh Yeah
One other thing ... the "navbar" file does nothing yet. The links on the
top navbar are hard-coded in index.php3, so if you want the top links to
work, edit it.
The "sidebar" directory has only one relevant file in it right now, and
that's "links". Read it. It's obvious. Other stuff may go in there later.

Tidier
OK, I've tidied things up a bit. Styles are now all in dong.css, the
sidebar headlines now pull the site name from the channel definition and
the navbar gets content from blog/navbar like it's supposed to.
Have a dig around. Go on.

RDF Fun
OK, Minimalist Dong can now do RDF Channel exports. How's that for a quick
hack? To get the XML dump of a Dong, just add ?mode=rdf to the url. For
example: ##http://www.grouse.net.au/~mike/index.php3?mode=rdf#http://www.grouse.net.au/~mike/index.php3?mode=rdf##
will get you the RDF dump of the Minimalist Dong home page.
Something kind of neat that occured to me last night is that with this
feature, you could 'nest' multiple Dongs. One could become an index page,
with links in the sidebar to a sub-page, created by just adding the sub
page's RDF channel.
I'm probably explaining it badly. But I think it's a neat thing, and I'll
try and get it straight in my head later.
Proper documentation of Minimalist Dong is getting important. I'll forget
how to do things soon. But there's one major feature to work in, which
will change a lot of the config files around. That first, <em>then</em>
the documentation.

Almost There
Minimalist Dong, as of 0.7, is almost feature-complete.
Now that navigation through historical entries is possible, all that needs
to be done is tweaks of the mechanics of the system, and some tidying up
of the includes system.
Not to mention tidying up of some of the code ... don't go looking into
config.inc if you've just had breakfast.
