Hello,
each time I''m searching for rails plugins or tutorials I am not sure if
the found source is up to date. For example:
1. wiki.rubyonrails.org
-----------------------
When I looked at the rails wiki some weeks ago I found some old plugin
related arcticle covering pre 1.0 or at least pre 2.x things or things
you "should not do anymore".
2. plugin directories
---------------------
In addition the popular plugin directories like
http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins
http://railsify.com/
and http://www.railslodge.com/
seem not to have or not to use a tagging mechanism to
indicate rails version compatibility or project activity.
So it''s relatively easy to dig out a plugin that''s
unmaintained since
2006 or just broken - not good.
3. private blogs / screencasts
------------------------------
There is an overwhelming number of awesome great how-to articles and
screencasts - unfortunately some don''t containt a creation date or a
rails version number. That makes it very hard to recognize old stuff
(which might be still useful if you use rails 1.2 but not 2.x for example).
suggestion:
-----------
Things I would personally appreciate:
- Add tagging to wiki.rubyonrails.org, tag the arcticles to the
corresponding framework version
=> seems not that complicated?
- Admins of plugin directories: please add a rails version indication
to each plugin
=> well, what do you think? should be possible?
- Authors of how-tos and blog postings: please add the used rails
version / date of the arcticle
=> rational appeal :-)
Does this make sense? What do you think?
...and how can I help (e.g. extend the wiki functionality)?
best regards,
Roland
