Hi,

for all who are not interested in webgen: you can safely skip the rest  
or get interested [http://webgen.rubyforge.org](http://webgen.rubyforge.org) 🙂

I’m currently gathering ideas for new features for the next big webgen  
release (0.4.0). Some of the planned features are:

- RSS feed generation (proposed by Friz Heinrichmeyer)
- blog module (proposed by Fritz Heinrichmeyer)
- Google Sitemap Generator (proposed by Diwaker Gupta)
- optional static menus (proposed by Diwaker Gupta)
- template inheritance (page uses template 1 which uses template 2…)
- template files get same structure as page files
- multiple file handler for one source file
- GUI application for managing a Web site
- XML::Builder intergration for generating HTML output

Are there any other features you would like to see in the 0.4.0 release?

Thomas
