Camping list - Aug 2010 - Wiki Writing Requests!

Heya! So I''m trying to get this new website all tied up in a nice
little bunch. I''m a bit silly when it comes to git-fu though. Could one
of you create a page on the camping/camping wiki called
''Contributing'', and put stuff in it which tells people how to
do that? Use Markdown or Textile. Doesn''t really matter which.
I''m moving most of the articles I work on over to Markdown because
textile and my brain don''t like each other and I don''t much
like being stuck in the middle of their squabbles. Do whatever though.

Thanks a bunch.

Wonderful!

I''ve ported over The Camping Book as well. Is there anything else we
need sorted quickly?

I''m not sure what to do about the ''reference'' rdoc
thingo. It seems kind of difficult to navigate to me - camping is one of the few
projects I frequently read the source code of instead of web docs. Not sure
really what could be done about that though. Perhaps some kind of more app-like
web thing, for browsing the rdocs, with a little fulltext search widget and
stuff like that would be nice? Though I suppose if going to all that trouble, it
might as well be a generic ruby thing. Maybe I should build a ruby docs browser
website, capable of loading in docs from core, std, and any gem.

Maybe camping would benefit from having a sample library? Something akin to the
Shoebox, where little tiny but essentially complete fun apps would be available
for live pokings as well as having their source code exposed and easily
downloadable in a zip or something? That would integrate really well with
Judofyr''s online editor whosits. I wonder if we could get that
jRuby-powered applet demo doodad running camping apps in the mean time, until
editor stuff, or, alternatively, someone know where we can get a VM for running
insecure code?
