Candy sweet blog engine with github powered backend for ASP.NET MVC applications.

The storage is github repository. The repository contains posts, resources and metadata for blog posts. All data in repository is based on simple conventions.

Folder names and structure

/ --- Description.yaml
   |
   + -- 2011
		|
		+ -- 01

				+ -- 11
				|		+ -- first_post.hmtl
				|		+ -- image.png

						+ -- another_post.html
						+ -- code_1.png
						+ -- code_2.png
		+ -- 02

				+ -- 01
						+ -- next_post.html

This folder structure will be mapped to following URL's

/blog/post/2011/01/11/first-post
/blog/post/2011/01/17/another-post
/blog/post/2011/02/01/next-post

This file contains blog's meta information including: blog owner, configuration, permissions.

It should be installed via NuGet package. The package would contain all required Views/Models/Controller to be able to run blog engine. All updates are recieved via NuGet as well.

It is possible to integrate wonka into any ASP.NET MVC or ASP.NET WebForms application. Separate 'Area' call 'blog' is installed, so blog accessible by http://yoursite.com/blog.

At first visit of /blog URL the configuration wizard appears. It includes just basic configuration parameters as: github account name, repository, themes.

To prevent multiple github API requests Wonka provides simple caching capabilies. Lightweight embedded database will be used to cache prepared posts. Currently I haven't decieded which to choose: SQL Lite or SQL CE.

Several minimalistic themes are supported.
