Chrysoberyl is an attempt to catalogue, and curate, the things producedby, and related to,Cat's Eye Technologies.

It is something between a wiki and a database and a semantic web andThe Devil's Dictionary.

It is supposed to be primarily informative, and only secondarily machine-processable, and only thirdly structured. For this purpose, it hashistorically been collected in relatively ad-hoc YAML files, but in 2017it was converted toFeedmark format, which is a subset of Markdown.

These Feedmark articles can be found inthe article directory.

Chrysoberyl contains primarily things produced by Cat's Eye Technologies;it only contains things not produced by Cat's Eye Technologies when theydirectly relate to things that are (e.g. Perl 5.12 might have an entry,but only as a "Project Dependency", not as a "Programming Language".)

This README used to contain a lot more information, but a lot of it hasgone out of date at this point, but if you're interested, you can lookit up in this repository's history.

The scripts in thescript directory are used for managing the contentin Chrysoberyl, as well as for release management of the things producedby Cat's Eye Technologies. They are written in Python 3, and may havea few requirements. You can set up a virtualenv and install them with:

virtualenv --python=3.5 venvsource venv/bin/activatepip install -r requirements.txt
