help wanted!
peekbot is very much a work in progress. I am putting this version out
now as a 'proof of concept', and to see if anyone finds it intersting
enough to help work on it.
Areas where assistance would be most valuable:
1) web design. peekbot uses camping, with markaby + css for layout, so
hopefully someone with css chops could make it look much slicker
without too much effort. I'm sure the UI and navigation could be much
improved as well - I am a humble backend hack so would be very happy
to work with anyone who knew how to make a web app easy to use.
2) plug-ins for image formats (especially .sdk), file systems, and
native file types. My goal for ripxplore is to have everything in 100%
native ruby for maximum portability, and the framework is convoluted
and not yet well documented, so it's probably a bit early for anyone
but a masochist ruby freak to try writing a plugin unaided, but I
would be happy to work with anyone interested, or else if someone has
some images they'd particularly like to see peekbot interpret, and can
give specs or source code i can convert, that would be great too.
There is a heap of opporunity for the C64 particularly, including
converters to detect various image formats and render as PNG.
3) documentation - how to use the website, how to use ripxplore for
specialised conversion and extraction tasks & how to write a plugin.
