Zipido
======
Rake tasks and generators to configure ruby on rails applications consistently and provide reusable design elements.
Configure a ruby on rails application the Zipi way.


Available features
==================
Consistent git configuration and operation with rake tasks.

Capistrano recipes for deployment to zipi servers, installed with a generator.

Generator for simple css and application layout files for standard rails generated scaffolds.

Rake tasks to generate xhtml and css from a yaml design specification. Allows the development of
reusable design elements.

Examples
========

script/generate zipido_application
  replace application.css and application.html.erb with simple starting point for site design.
  create config/design directory with sample design yaml files

script/generate zipido_capify
  create Capfile and deploy.rb just like capify . plus add a recipe file for deployment to zipi servers.

rake git:initialize
  runs git init
  creates .gitignore to keep secret config files secret and tmp files temporary.
  creates .gitignore in empty directories so clones will run.

rake git:first_version
  runs git add . and git commit with "first version" message

rake git:publish
  run git remote add and git push for use with zipi gitosis server.
  This is not going to work for you unless you have a project configured on the 
  zipi gitosis server. It should be easy to modify to use with git hub. And I 
  should probably  make that an option.

rake zipido:desgn layout=application
  process a design specified in a yaml file, named application.yml, into xhtml and css files.


Still much to do
================

- Tests!
  not much to test in capify and gitify but no tests for the design to xhtml and css is limp.
- generators for partials, panels, and frames
- install collected resusable design elements

- fixed local repository to have a master branch suitable for publication and made the old master branch
  into a development branch to hold onto the stuff that is not ready yet.

Give back your fixes
