BeginEnd.net has begun, where will it end?
Last week www.beginend.net was launched with the goal of aggregating Pascal and Delphi blogs in a mobile-friendly, secure website with a minimalist UI.
The website is Pascal-Powered: the server is Delphi-compiled DWScript Sample Web server, the server-side page generation and APIs are handled by DWS and an SQLite database, and the client-side is a SmartPascal application compiled on-the-fly to JavaScript by the server.
Coalesce operator for DWScript

Migrating from Google Code to BitBucket
Here is a quick guide on migrating a project code from Google Code (SVN) to BitBucket (git) using TortoiseGIT, so with a GUI, and with no cryptic command line in sight.
Migrating Wiki/Issues is a bit more involved and not covered here. Migrating downloads has to be done by re-uploading to BitBucket (but at least BitBucket supports binary downloads).
