This script is a simple tool to compare Dosage against othe webcomic aggregators and check the overall health of comics. Building this table is a bit tricky. In an effort to avoid duplication, much data is retrieved from the comic modules. This reads the latestUrl property of every comic module, which may be a function which accesses the net. All additional data is taken from a CSV file. This file supplies "nice" names for comics, URLs for comics not supported by Dosage (supported comics get the latestUrl from the classes) and the comparison data for the other programs. Dosage is compared against the following tools: * DailyStrips (http://dailystrips.sourceforge.net/) [2004-12-11] Based on the release version 1.0.28 and the latest update file (http://dailystrips.sourceforge.net/UPDATES/ds-update-1.0.28) * StripClub (http://sourceforge.net/projects/stripclub/) [2005-06-22] Using the automatic update files (http://stripclub.sourceforge.net/comics.txt and http://stripclub.sourceforge.net/comics/) * Dark Gate Comic Slurper (http://darkgate.net/comic/) [2005-06-18] Based on the configure page (http://darkgate.net/comic/configure.php) * Webcomics Collector 0.7.3 (http://collector.skumleren.net/) * phpGrabComics (http://phpgrabcomics.org/) [2005-06-23] Got live list from sample install (http://www.baravalle.it/phpGrabComics/) and looked up some things in the download tarball of version 1.5.1 * Netcomics (http://netcomics.sourceforge.net/) [2005-07-30] CVS version The date shows when the list for those programs was updated last... There is a special column named "broken". Set this to "yes" if it seems the comic has disappeared from the public internet. Set it back to "no" if you notice that a comic has re-surfaced.
