As you know, the RapidWeaver 3.5 public beta 1 had been released on 2nd June. At the same time, the plugin SDK had been released too. OK! The time to start the development of RapidWeaver BBS plugin has come !
But before I start the development, I have to do something...
1) Upgrade of websites.
I have three websites which managed by RapidWeaver. Also each theme of websites are customized, so I have to upgrade my websites for new RapidWeaver 3.5. (I completed the upgrade of all my sites today)

2) X-fade function issue.
I realized that I have to modify the X-fade function in accordance with the new feature of RapidWeaver3.5 (permalink). Also RapidWeaver 3.5 PB1 has some problem with the custom JavaScript function - All custom JavaScript will be comment outed.

3) Study of the Cocoa programing is not completed.
When I saw the source code of Objective-C for the first time, I had strange feeling. However, I became to be able to read and write the source code of Objective-C without strange feeling recently. And I'm guru of C++ and MFC (the class library of Microsoft Visual C++) if I do say so myself, so I seem that the plug-in can be developed while studying the Cocoa.

4) Perl BBS engine is not completed.
My work always becomes busy when I want to do something. Moreover, I had to take measures for the comment-spam block function.
I don't know it's the best way of dealing with it but I seem that my comment-spam block function is passable for normal use. (But I receive comment-spam once in a long while. It's too difficult to block perfectly.)
However basic function of the BBS engine has been completed.
I will do the function addition by the further version improvement.

With this thing and that... I started to develop the RapidWeaver BBS plugin. I will report the intermediate step by this weblog. Only your comment (or trackback) gives me an incentive to greater effort.
