DocBlox

PHP 5.3 compatible API Documentation generator aimed at projects of all sizes and Continuous Integration

DocBlox has its own domain, and more!

Posted on | February 26, 2011 | 2 Comments

The DocBlox project has really taken off since my introduction post. The interest in the project has sparked and quite a bit of changes have been pushed onto Github.

With this interest comes the challenge of taking your project to the next level; in my case that meant I had to introduce communication paths, documentation, and a better process control.

Now, a month since that introduction post, we have achieved the following:

  1. we have our own website at http://docblox-project.org, here we want to place the documentation, articles and more.
  2. we have a twitter account at @DocBlox to inform you all about what is going on.
  3. we have our own IRC channel on freenode: #docblox
  4. A Continuous Integration server monitors the pushes to Github
  5. Unit test count has increased (but still is not enough)
  6. a PEAR channel at http://pear.docblox-project.org!
  7. 16 reported issues and/or pull requests have been reported and solved
  8. A lot of bug fixes and new feature implementations

I, personally, am proud of the progress that we have made with the project. I could never have done this without the input from you, the community, as some of the greatest ideas originated there. For that I would like to thank every one who contributed code or ideas to this project.

But: no reason to start slacking!

DocBlox is far from finished; if you would look at the TODO file in the root of the project you can see what I have in mind. Although documentation and unit tests are in the section ‘Technical Debt’, I nonetheless view them as important; so expect them in the upcoming time!
