"offline" branch/merge


My current website is driven by Perl Template Toolkit, generated from source
files that are managed in git.  The theory is that any of the webmasters who
want to edit the website can do so in an offline fashion (at 30k feet, or on a
cruise ship, for example), and then merge the changes up to the live site,
possibly resolving any conflicts that may have happened in the meanwhile.

Is there a way that I can achieve something similar with Pier?  As in, have
some way to serialize and restore the current pages so that they are treated
sensibly by git as a collection of files, or perhaps as code so that they can
be tracked with Monticello?

Re: "offline" branch/merge

The package SW2PR in http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/pieraddons does  
this, at least the importing part. It walks over SmallWiki pages (the  
predecessor of Pier) and saves them to a file-system hierarchy. There  
is another method that walks over the file-system and imports the  
files into Pier. I wrote this as an easy way to migrate data from  
SmallWiki (that runs in VW and Squeak) to Pier.

I guess it would be easy to use that code as starting point (there are  
just a couple of methods) and add a Pier exporter.

Cheers,
Lukas
