Hey everyone, Wanted to build on Emily''s announcement about the Change
the Web deadline:
** What do you think about a RoR plugin, where any ROR powered website
could easily add ways to take action to their site? **
Eric Cooper built a similar plugin for WordPress and it''s been
tremendously successful, 2,000+ downloads! (http://is.gd/bZzn)
While not a judge, I think Ruby modules that mashed up Social Actions
API (http://bit.ly/changeapi) would make for great submissions (and
could have a big impact!)
You can find out more here:

Dev Resources: http://socialactions.com/developers
Social Actions Dev Google Group:
http://groups.google.com/group/social-actions-dev
I hope there''s enough time to mash up modules in the last stretch! -
Submissions close Friday 3pm PT!
Looking forward to your submissions!
Best,
Joe
