[dna-dev] Re: Blogging topics
Okay, I'll start to put together a blog about our i18n framework.
I've noticed recently that we (DNA committers) are starting to diverge a
bit in how we test. Maybe you could blog about some of the "best
practices" we've discussed regarding testing (such as BDD vs. TDD,
conventions, etc.).

One topic might be the I18n framework. John did a great job
(improving some stuff that he worked on with Dan a while back) on
this, and it really is a great little framework. I used to hate
internationalization code, but now it is very easy to work with.
What do you think, John? You up for it? Could be a multipart blog,
too. Some questions that could be answered:
• How it's used
• How it works
• What are the advantages over other approaches
• Support for multiple locales (e.g., web application)
• Caching of localization messages
• Parameters
• Updating of localization messages
• Typed parameters (compile-time)
• Passing around internationalized messages
• Extensibility (Localization repository)
• Testing
• Why does logging use it (and why debug and trace methods are not
internationalized)
Thoughts?
