Website(s) redesign project

Last modified:11 Oct 2011

This page collects my ideas about redesigning my website(s).

A maximally-reflexive website. A Ngake web application that models and visualises Ngake web applications.

There will eventually be several sites:

ngake.net for the underlying process modelling and visualisation framework (itself using Ngake).
johnp.net for my personal projects and blog (another Ngake site).
synchromesh.com for commercial work based around Ngake.

There should be a clean separation between the Ngake web application framework and the target web application (although this may be tricky for ngake.net, but that's the interesting part).
A site should be able to introspect (retrieve, edit, compile, debug) its own source code and state (including e.g. logging, version control).
The site should also be able to monitor its underlying OS and resources (CPU, RAM, network etc.).
Since the problem domain is "successful web applications", support for user testing and web analytics must be fully integrated.
Internationalisation (e.g. at synchromesh.cn).
