Advent Calendar
There had been quite a few new interesting features. We can write about them separately (as the following "Raw PSGI response" suggests) or write a concentrate article on both. It depends on their scope.
There are three options for controlling the scope of applications: "to_app", "prefix", and "appname". The mixture of them is very interesting and can be a source of confusion. An article about it would be very enlightening and a source of reference in the future.
There are plans for overhauling the testing suite and write tests based on classes. Having an article explaining to users how they can help write tests would be very useful.
Dancer is participating in the next round of the Outreach Program for Women. If it will have a participant, we should definitely blog about our participation and what she worked on.
The core structure has materialized quite significantly. It would be very useful to give a cursory look at the current core. The only problem is that it might change further.
There had been a few changes in plugins, and there might be even more plugin architecture changes. It would good to have a refresher course in an article.
By the time the Advent Calendar rolls around, we should have the patch of responding with a raw PSGI response in Dancer2. Having a short article about it would be useful.
We've switched internally to use Plack::Test for testing. Many people are not aware of it, how it works, and how to use it. Yanick already wrote a post here: http://techblog.babyl.ca/entry/testing-dancer.
We could write the comparison thing (or cross-post it?) or we could write a more explicit "here is how to test with Plack::Test". Alternatively, we can have a series that shows each various way as its own post.
A short article about the existing Github teams. We currently only have two public ones: Advent Calendar and Plugins Maintainers. If we have more teams, we can do about the Github teams themselves. Otherwise, we can do a short article about the new Plugins Maintainers group.
