Files can only be outputted with .html currently. However, there have
been discussions about changing this so staticmatic can be used with
other templating languages or scripting like shtml, php or asp. This
may come in a later release, but it's not top of the list.

Yes, I definitely do. But I'm wary about switching to Webby because I
already put a lot of effort to learning StaticMatic and the project is
at a pretty far advanced stage right now. So maybe I can crib this
functionality from Webby, and extend StaticMatic.
I understand helpers are sort of where you put the custom Ruby
code...but would a helper have the scope and ability to modify this
functionality? Or do I need to hack the core? What is the best
practice? Also, can either of you point me in the right direction to
find the code logic where the extension types are set?
thanks,
Volkan

I haven't looked at staticmatic's internals to be able to answer this
question, so I defer to the experts in the list. Webby is pretty easy, but
has the slight annoyance of keeping all the template files as ".txt" files
(no .haml or .erb extensions).

The new extension typing sounds like a great idea. But perhaps with a
full on extension api, similar to jQuery and Drupal projects, these
enhancements can also be done by third-party developers. There are
always some small improvements that would be productive to some
developers, though not necessarily critical to the project as a whole.
Anyways, I'm glad to hear about the extension plans. Perhaps I can be
of some help. I've been studying the internals somewhat, and though
I'm not quite there yet understanding the flow, I can provide useful
feedback, testing and debugging at this point -- but I'll do anything
you ask me, really.
Many thanks,
Volkan
