> I have started an as yet empty project on squeaksource called

> The first item in Jetsam will be a place for base seaside

> for 2.7 and 2.8 etc.
>
> First Base Extensions:
>
> * WAConfiguration-hasGroupNamed:
>
> * Enable WAFileLibraries to be named other than the class name
>
> * Enable WAFileLibraries etc to decide who to delegate
>  serving the content. (Its hard wired at the moment)
>
> My first contribution will be a WAFileBackedLibrary. The
> point being that this works together with in-image seaside
> file serving. The goal here is to have in image defaults, and
> in file customizations.
>
> It is also possible to configure WAKom and Swazoo to serve
> static files, thats great too!
>
> Any other contributions would be very welcome.
>
> Another aim is to collate and integrate the pieces that can
> be assembled into more comprehensive solutions via other
> means such as squeak-web development image.

> Dear David,
>
> Jetsam is now open!
>
> I have begun by committing some initial bits and pieces I found  
> lying around on the beach.
> I have a few other ideas to add as and when, for example hooks into  
> a basic logging add on.
>
> When you contribute to Jetsam please add to the list of extensions/
> features in the JetsamSeasidePackageInfo-readmeText method, and I  
> think that it would be a useful convention to indicate which  
> version number  of seaside2.8 is the current latest to which this  
> package corresponds.

> enjoy

> This class inherits from WAStandardFiles and so by subclassing me,

> In standard seaside the file selector form #logoGif would be used.  
> In a shameless hack which would never be accepted in seaside  
> proper, we enable both forms. A symbol is assumed to be a selector  
> reference, and a string is assumed to be a file reference. We do  
> this simply because, in situations where you may be asking a user  
> to specify a file via a settings interface, they are likely to be  
> more familiar with the filename form. The filename form is also  
> cannonical.
>
> Your subclass can also specify whether or not it caches DISK (i.e.  
> not those stored in a file library method selector aka  
> WAStandardFiles) based documents, by defining #documentClass. By  
> default we serve non-cached documents (i.e. we do not cache the  
> document, and we request that the browser does not either), but  
> once your project is defined you may wish to change that.
>
> We keep a cache the fileNames of those files we have available to  
> serve from disk.
