Fellows of the cloth -- I''m writing code that subclasses RedCloth and emits styled text that is not HTML. For example, I''m going to be emitting RTF and other formats from Textile or Markdown. I''ve got it working quite well with plainclothed RedCloth, but I can''t seem to override any of the methods in SuperRedCloth. Here''s a sample:

Hi all, I love the elegance of Markaby for HTML generation. I''d like to do something similar for SVG, e.g.: svg11 do title "Slide Title" rect({:x=>2,:y=>2,:width=>508,:height=>318,:fill=>"aqua"}) g({:style=>"fill:blue; stroke:black", :transform=>"translate(17,-38)"}) do circle({:cx=>70, :cy=>100,

Campers -- In a few weeks there will be a bunch of people in Portland, OR, for a conference. A long time ago some campers mentioned that might be a good time for us to get together and hold a mini CampingConf for a few hours. Is anyone interested? Does anyone want to organize it? I''m thinking Wednesday night, May 16. We could possibly get a spot at FreeGeek (not likely since they are

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

I can''t get fixtures to load correctly in a Mosquito test. The first fixture loads in the unit test, but the rest don''t load at all. File structure: tracker/ tracker.rb test/ test_tracker.rb fixtures/ tracker_measurements.yml tracker_projects.yml Relevant test code: require ''rubygems''

Hi, I want to write a plugin that uses JavaScript and I am wondering how to put the static content, i.e. the JavaScript, in place? I read the documentation I found ( http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Plugins and links) and looked at the listed plugins. One thing I found was that subversion seems to be a prerequisite for providing or even installing plugins. Is that right? The other thing

Can someone explain the new Markaby syntax to me? I''m using Markaby as a Rails plugin, fetched from the trunk. I''m losing my instance variables somehow (@thing is always nil): class ThingsController < ApplicationController def index @thing = "Bacon of the chunky variety" end end # app/views/index.mab h1 { "You should see a thing here:" } p {

For your entertainment, a simple Camping app to watch your Backpack account and show a list of recently updated pages. I hope to implement an RSS feed soon.

Hi all I found the Camping page on Wikipedia in need of some serious TLC, so I updated it, added some newer links and removed the ''stub'' status: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camping_%28microframework%29 I also pointed people to the Github repo for version 1.9. Please take a look and either make suggestions for further material for me to add (not too much...

Mosquito, the TDD framework for Camping has been updated (0.1.3). We''ve tried to keep it backwards compatible, so your apps should continue to work. But feel free to submit a bug report at RubyForge if you have any problems.

Is anyone developing with HAML templates in Merb? I had to do a few hacks but got it generally working (Merb trunk). I did have to do odd things like print @_layout_content straight out instead of calling catch_content(:layout). And, templates seem to be cached even if I set :cache_templates to false in merb.yml. I hope to be at the MerbHack night at RailsConf and would love to hack on this part

If you've ever wondered what Karanbir Singh looks like, check out this week's (142) video podcast at http://twit.tv/floss. I'm only partway through the audio version (will finish on the drive home) and haven't heard anything that would be surprising to people already using Centos yet but it's a great presentation and something to recommend to people who aren't

I''m starting a new podcast to cover some of the hot topics going on in Rails. Half news, half interactive, all community. As always, the first episode kinda sucks but I''m looking forward to feedback from all of you on how to make it better. http://www.simiancodex.com/roar/ or for iTunes people http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=163609703 Michael

Hi, Thanks Zed - this is very interesting. One item in particular caught my eye: Does anyone on this list have any comments or validation that Rails 1.2.1 is 2-4 times as slow as Rails 1.1.6? Topfunky provided a link that purports what looks like really horrible performance and memory characteristics for Rails 1.2.1, even v. 1.1.6:

Hello, As a podcaster I use Asterisk extensively and often have several people in a conference room. We'll record the calls via a SIP phone connected to a sound mixer. Is there an easy way to bump up the audio bitrate for all callers connected to the Asterisk server and improve the general sound quality? The server is not used much outside of recording the podcast. We're not opposed to

I like the style of the Merb plugin manager....installing gems straight from RubyForge. However, the current implementation in trunk wants to find an install script and a Rakefile.merb. Many gems would still be useful without this and could be easily packaged with a Merb app for deployment. Right now it wil "rescue nil" if no uninstall script is found, but the others are required. Is

I attended a lecture in Sydney, Australia earlier this week that featured a rulin'' presenter app written in Camping. It recreates Eric Myer''s S5 presenter app, but with a better implementation in Ruby. I hope I''m not jumping the gun, but the author is Myles Byrne and he posted a link to the svn here (don''t bug him with feature requests for a few
