YAML data

[paulirish]

the data in the site is getting a little unweidly. it'd be good to maintain in a better format.. YAML perhaps?

from there lets chuck it into the site. using a node build script might be nice.. pipe it through some nice templating library.

alternatively could pull it in clientside and apply it with MDV http://mdv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/design_intro.html .. but we lose SEO i suppose.. hard to tell

anyway.. we need a better data format and really easy step to bring that into the document. FWIW i think the haml is optional.. it was mostly to avoid the messy markup around this data.

Divya, per our discussion last Wednesday I began work on this issue. I noticed this commit repeats much of the work I was doing, but I have a Node parser for the template as well. I'm going to clone the nodebackbone branch and make a pullreq on that tonight unless you have other plans. Just lmk, cheers.

[nimbupani]

Brian, definitely. Please do.

[brianblakely]

Oh, welly well, it looks like app.js already does exactly that. I guess everything is wrapped up in a nice neat little package!

[nimbupani]

O cool stuff then! Brian, if you see anything missing, please do add it in. I think the JSON file needs more refactoring with the kind of data we need to consider. If you can think of ways to do so, please do!

[paulirish]

so we can move form JSON to YAML when we get around to it.. http://search.npmjs.org/#/yaml

I think yaml will be better in the longrun as JSON is kinda nast for this sorta data

[nimbupani]

We are already using something similar to yaml now, hence closing this issue.

Looks like Divya meant to close this issue. Closing it now to clean up :)
