Hi Jenna this is great !
let's see how the screencasts come along then you can see. Just one point
about tumblr (which is good don't get me wrong) wouldn't it be better to
have a small site on camping ? I am pretty excited to build this in camping
and show the screencasts inside it. Of course will need to show code not
nice words only ;) but this should be the final aim.

I am not asking anyone to do it/code it etc. I am just saying this should
be the ultimate goal because with no camping code in production people
might think this is just a quick hack just for the fun of it with not much
of a real use beside a proof of concept... which is a bit of a pity.

Like there are hundreds of frameworks on git, google code etc. but how many
can be bothered to try them out without having some working samples or a
good site (and I really like your design !!) to show how is this working ?

For example there is some activity in the mailing list so it could be
something nice to show on the website (like this topic at
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.camping.general/1648) but of
course within the site and not an external link.  This could be enough
while there is no forum etc.

On another note tumblr is not exactly very stable !

*this said* I totally see your point as you have this functionality already
on tumblr so if one wants to be up and quickly with something it is
certainly better than any bigger but uncoded masterplan :)

Regards
David
