Biography

Porenta was born in Ljubljana. He was a member of the Slovenian Sokol athletics movement. With the Yugoslav team, Porenta participated at two Olympic games, at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris and in 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam. In Paris, he competed at nine events, his best results being 4th place in men's team competition and 6th place in horse vault. In Amsterdam, where the Yugoslav team won five medals in total, Porenta was a member of the bronze medal winning team at the team competition, together with Edvard Antosiewicz, Stane Derganc, Dragutin Ciotti, Boris Gregorka, Anton Malej, Jože Primožič, and Leon Štukelj.[1]

During the Second World War, Porenta was active in the Liberation Front of the Slovene Nation. In 1942, he was arrested by the forces of Fascist Italy for involvement in the murder of the banker and businessman Avgust Praprotnik (1891–1942) and then shot at the Gramozna Jama ('gravel pit') site in Ljubljana.[2][3][4][5]

gollark: It's a Greek-mythology monster in a labyrinth somewhere which ate people a lot.
gollark: Because instead of "pages have attached files which can be linked the pages", you could just have "pages contain files as a separate type of content, embedded appropriately".
gollark: Minoteaur 7.1 had file management capabilities, but while working on this now I realized I suddenly realized that this could probably be combined with the content model rework somehow, accursedly.
gollark: But I also really don't like writing much code, and want to generalize and combine features as much as possible. Which causes more problems.
gollark: The main causes of this are:- I wanted it to be interactable with externally via an API of some kind, and operating on text strings for that is kind of æ æa æ ææææ æææ.- I wanted some kind of structured data handling mechanism, partly for APIous purposes - see DokuWiki's `struct` plugin, and a cool feature a random journaling website has where you can use `CAPSTHING: bees` in a page and get tables out- I also thought that the design of all previous Minoteaurs, which made pages entirely text strings, hampered rich editing capabilities (such as "to-do lists" where you could easily check/uncheck things, and arbitrarily-nested-bullet-point "outliner" stuff)
