Hello,

I hope I can send this question to this newsgroup:
I'm searching some interessting people that would like to do a
project in their free time. I'm a very big fan of LaTeX and PHP
based frameworks, so I would create a CMS to using LaTeX within a browsers for
editing and creating PDF documents with LaTeX. In the last week I have
written down
some project code on http://code.google.com/p/weblatex/

Does anybody has some interesst to work on it?

Thanks

Phil

Looks like PHP4 code with need for lots of external command-line
applications: asymptote, bibtex, metapost, makeindex, pdf2latex...
Can't even find all of these for Windows.
Do you have a working demo somewhere? I would like to see it running and I
think this could attract some people to your project.

Best regards,
A

TexLive and MikTex supports bibtex, metapost, makeindex and pdf2latex.
I don't work with asymptote, I'm using TikZ, so sorry, I don't know
that

I have upload a first screenshot on the project page. I'm using
CKEditor for editing the data, full jQuery / Ajax
support for the webcontent, jQuery filetree / document support and a
full right management to the documents (works at the moment). Each
document creates a session look, so only one user can write the
document (document part). Within the GUI you can create drafts, which
are reverenced by the documents, a document is a accumulation of TeX
code blocks, on which you can set different right accesses.
I will store HTML code within the database and generate TeX code with
XSLT and send them to the installed pdf2tex command.
In the future I will also add a "diff" command so each user can edit a
locked document, but after unlocked the use can show the differences.
A history works at this time also, so each change on a draft / document
will be rersible.
I'm using also PHP ADODB for creating a database independed access (I'm
working at the moment on mySQL). The system is also themeable
and I will create a plugin interface for extensions. The CKEditor can
be advanced with plugins, so some special TeX structures can be added
directly into the editor (I'm thinking about a full TikZ support). The
systen uses only UTF-8 support and I have implementated the gettext
structure
for multilanguage.

The project should be for workgroups, that would like to use the
plurality of TeX with only one tex installation on the server. I think
it
is primarly für the LAN use. I know it's a lot of work :-P

Seems like a lot of work to do and quite interesting project.
I hope you'll succeed.
One advice: English everywhere, even on screen-shots. Not many people know
German.

Best regards,

The screenshot is out of my system, you see the menu items are mixed
names (german and english). I prefer
english only, most people understand this. Translation should be one of
the final steps. I have tested the gettext options,
but there at the moment I don't translate the options, because the base
system should be completed. I hope here are
some people which would help maybe :-)

I forgot something: code, database and documentation (Doxygen) are in
english only.
The code used the object-orientated paradigm with namespaces. I use a
style guid for the
name conversation of methods, functions, variables and class- / filenames.
