One personal project and Ra-Ajax, an interesting case OpenID for small sites

One personal project pt. II (was I)

Substitutefor.com was presented the other day as a side-effect of the shocking news that the Ra-Ajax people was being sued, precautionary removing all of its files from download sections.

But that wasn’t an appropriate presentation and neither is going to be this one :-). I’ll leave that for the pt. III, you know what they say: third time lucky.

So what’s this post about? Let’s present the not-really-five-but-four objectives of this pet project.

  1. Make money: Err… not really. Would have gone this way in that case.
  2. Have something to blog about: Yeah, that’s important. Synergistic approach, discretia.org and substitutefor.com will benefit from each other.
  3. Give a try to some web technologies I haven’t played with as a developer: I’m not a web developer, designer or whatever position related to the web but in *every* project or job that I’ve been involved I’ve had to deal with web technologies. So I guess it’s a good point.
  4. Have a place to try new things, where things are either ideas, or bad ideas, or even good ideas!
  5. Measure the time to market of this kind of ideas.
