Family Connection is an easy-to-setup online hub for your family that includes a Family News section, and an Address Book. Currently, there is no documentation on installing the Rails application itself (hence the 0.9 version number). Once installed, Family Connection guides the family website administrator through a simple two-page setup process. The web application restricts access to family members by requiring the "family password" given during the initial setup process. The Family News is like a blog where family members can post events, announcements, recipes, family anecdotes, stories or reviews. It includes the ability to upload pictures with each news item. The Family News features the ability to have email messages sent directly to the application so that the application can post the message up immediately. The news posts also support tagging. The Address Book shows a listing of all family members with their thumbnail pictures. It is secure in that only family members who have registered at the site can view the information. Currently, Family Connection is only available via Subversion: svn checkout svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/familyconnect/trunk The 1.0 release will feature documentation and a downloadable package; however, because this is a stable and quite usable application already I thought it would be good to make it available immediately.

Sounds like a great idea. I''ll look into it later. Are there, by any chance, any screenshots available?

Any more information on this project would be fantastic. The RubyForge page is pretty sparse on details. This sounds like something that I would be interested in evaluating. -- James

Duane, This is a wonderful app!! I was planning to build my own family portal, but instead I can build on what you have already started (and commit any good changes back to you). Thanks for doing this! It can really help facilitate communications between distanced family members. Jeff -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Duane, Great work! I''ve browsed through the online demo but not the code yet. Have you planned for any I18N so far? I would love to install and expand this for my family but I need to do Spanish for that. I can translate the code but then I thought a more international approach would help others if we setup language files or something else (haven''t investigated the I18N rails stuff yet).

That''s quite an offer. I haven''t tackled anything with i18n before, but I''m willing to give it a try. Do you have a recommended ''plugin'' or package to use with Rails? There have been several around for a while, but I''m not one to know which is best. Do you have a RubyForge account? Duane Johnson (canadaduane) http://blog.inquirylabs.com/
Duane, I haven''t dipped into I18N in Rails so far so I wouldn''t know which one to recommend. I don''t have a RubyForge account yet but I can get one I guess.
