I really like Camping, and I understand open source projects can fall by the wayside. So, I''d be willing to take over maintenance and releasing. I have experience maintaining my own open source projects, and a history of

Howdy all, I''ve noticed an influx of "What book should I buy?" questions lately, so I thought I''d put together a number of bibliographies/curriculums based on experience, role, and so on.

I am trying to deploy my first app on Dreamhost using Ruby on Rails. I followed the wiki, but I think I am missing something. I think it may be in my RoR code, but I am not sure. My app runs fine when run as http://localhost:3000/AddPatientVisit/addvisits AddPatientVisit is the controller and addvisits is the form that posts back to the controller.
