The second release of TentSteak is out and available as a gem on
rubyforge ("gem install tent_steak"). This version introduces a
handful of new form helpers, a couple method renames, editable HTML
tables, and some application bootstrappers for kickstarting Camping
and initializing ActiveRecord.
It''s still in active development, and I''d very much appreciate
suggestions, feature requests, and even code review. On tap for the
next release is: a thorough test suite; a bit of housecleaning to
better modularize the now-huge tent_steak.rb file into smaller bits;
and a very simple authentication add-on. Plus whatever else I happen
to need for my own Camping projects.
Enjoy!

Really it''s just yummy cuisine for Camping apps. Come to think of it, I should really create a vegan-friendly sister project, TentTofu -- it has half the features of TentSteak, but at least you can''t catch Mad CGI Disease from it.

The bulk of it is currently helper methods for stuff like building HTML tables and forms. More to come soon. John -- "The Internet is not something you just dump something on. It''s not a big truck.
