Camping has a new user on StackOverflow :-) - I just stumbled across this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2618535/camping-return-user-to- recent-entries-but-keep-errors If anyone with a StackOverflow account wants to leap in? Dave Everitt
I''ve asked some of them (even though they are several months olds) and have also subscribed to the camping-tag. I''ll try to automatically forward them to the camping-list :-) // Magnus Holm On Sun, Jul 25, 2010 at 12:53, Dave Everitt <deveritt at innotts.co.uk> wrote:> Camping has a new user on StackOverflow :-) - I just stumbled across this: > > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2618535/camping-return-user-to-recent-entries-but-keep-errors > > If anyone with a StackOverflow account wants to leap in? > > Dave Everitt > > _______________________________________________ > Camping-list mailing list > Camping-list at rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list >
I think we probably need to also keep an eye on StackOverflow since it is now one of the top tech destinations with a super high amount of developer traffic. I just subscribed to the Camping tag RSS feed too. Also when answering we can encourage people to join our mailing list in our comments. I will check more often as I use StackOverflow several times a week anyway. I guess it''s all part of our diversification to get the word out on Camping. Do you guys think we should cherry pick interesting questions every so often and either cross post to our list or maybe add to an FAQ page?

There aren''t enough Camping questions on SO to cherry pick :-) but getting them to use the mailing list would be good, although we''d also want to answer directly on SO - Dave E.> On 25 Jul 2010, at 14:11, Philippe Monnet wrote: > I think we probably need to also keep an eye on StackOverflow since > it is now one of the top tech destinations with a super high amount > of developer traffic.

Speaking of the mailing list: rubyforge sucks! Couldn''t we have something nice, like librelist? Those hackety hack guys with their fancy mailing list put ours to shame. _why is still the admin contact of this list. :| On 26/07/2010, at 12:18 AM, Dave Everitt wrote:> There aren''t enough Camping questions on SO to cherry pick :-) but getting them to use the mailing list would be good, although we''d also want to answer directly on SO - Dave E. > >> On 25 Jul 2010, at 14:11, Philippe Monnet wrote: >> I think we probably need to also keep an eye on StackOverflow since it is now one of the top tech destinations with a super high amount of developer traffic.

Librelist looks great. Can it take the existing archives? How can inboard links to the existing list be forwarded? Are the killer questions - Dave E.> Speaking of the mailing list: rubyforge sucks!

There is an interesting comment on the Librelist site: "... All archives are accessible efficiently via rsync as maildir directories. This means you can _/host your mailing list archives on your project''s site rather than directing users to Librelist/_. Librelist also provides simple archive browsing for smaller projects that can''t host themselves. ...". I am not very Unix savvy at all but does this imply you could "rsynch" from RubyForge? I am way out of my depth here... On 7/25/2010 10:22 AM, Dave Everitt wrote:> Librelist looks great. Can it take the existing archives? How can > inboard links to the existing list be forwarded?

That still leaves "How can inboard links to the existing list be forwarded?" Can we redirect* from rubyforge? Given that broken links to rubyforge mailing list posts are going to exaggerate the ''Camping is dead'' impression - Dave E> On 25 Jul 2010, at 17:50, Philippe Monnet wrote: > > There is an interesting comment on the Librelist site: "...

Alls we need to do is this. Now listen up closely and I''ll tell you a little story about a silly little hack. Once upon a time, a pony was seen to be doing semaphore with her ears from atop a a great and mighty buffalo. But it wasn''t a real buffalo, it was actually a great big rock that happened to look identical to a buffalo. Like a floating point rounding error away from being an actual buffalo. Really words don''t do it justice.. Where was I? Oh yes. So the guys from Area 51 went down, thinking it were some kind of alien horse, communicating messages of destruction or peace, but when they decoded the semaphore message, it said this LISTEN UP HUMANS STOP WE SEE YOU HAVE SOME ISSUES AND YOU NEED TO> COMMUNICATE MORE EFFECTIVELY STOP YOUR MAILING LISTS ARE A GOOD START STOP > THEY ARE TOO DIVISIVE HOWEVER AND LACK GOOD DATA PORTABILITY STOP WE SUGGEST > YOU CONNECT THEM TOGETHER BY FORGING A SUBSCRIBE REQUEST EMAIL FROM ONE LIST > AND SEND IT TO THE OTHER STOP THEN YOU CAN CONFIRM IT BECAUSE THE MESSAGE > WILL GO THROUGH TO THE LIST EXCLAMATION POINT IT IS A TRUE FACT THAT MAILING > LISTS WORK JUST LIKE ROMANTIC COMEDIES STOP WE HOPE THIS KNOWLEDGE HELPS AND > YOUR MAILING LISTS ENJOY THEIR DATE EVEN IF THEY LEARN TO RESENT YOU ALL FOR > TRICKING THEM STOP AND HERE ARE SOME PRIME NUMBERS SO YOU KNOW WE ARE ALIENS > 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29?And that''s the tale of how we came to solve all of the world''s hunger and poverty, and why on this special day every year, the 26th of July, we celebrate by eating a giant pizza in the centre of the city! ?
