Hey all, I ended up setting up Trac on my own server, since the point of the EY slice was to have someone manage it and nobody over there actually ever did that. http://mongrel.cloudbur.st/ The swimming dog is public domain. The brown-eyed dog didn''t fit the color scheme, but we can find him a home somewhere. I still have to get some static stuff like the RDoc up, and the Atom feed, but otherwise I think it''s ready. It syncs down from the master Rubyforge SVN. If this looks ok, I will finish those two things and ask Tom Copeland to point the subdomain to us. I ported the content from the existing site, but didn''t format it all. This will make it way easier for users to update the documentation for us. Register on the Trac and then email me your username, and I''ll make you an admin. Thanks Evan -- Evan Weaver Cloudburst, LLC

We can give someone admin status if they want to take ownership of a page. Trac tracks all wiki changes anyway so it''s not hard to tell who did what. I raised the issue of getting a Trac/wiki on the users list months ago and most people agreed it was a good decision. Evan -- Evan Weaver Cloudburst, LLC

I just noticed that some of the docs about win32 services aren''t up to date (mea culpa). -- Luis Lavena Multimedia systems - A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

It''s kind of really really not cool to make many people''s hard work just disappear like that. 2) New content that originates from content written by a contributor has their attribution in a way that can''t be altered by the wiki. This is important since they need the credit for the work they did. 3) Put this move to a vote on the mailing list so that people who use mongrel know it''s not unilateral. I''m sure everyone is ok with it, but it''s good to make sure you hear people out on it. This is kind of important to me since the web site was probably the most fun part of doing mongrel, and I don''t want all my great jokes and stuff to disappear. You don''t have to use it, but at least perserve the original stuff so that others can access it easily. Thanks. -- Zed A.
