Alright, things are now setup and contribution should be easier (patches against svn are also accepted).
How to contribute content for the website using github: * fork the website repo on github: http://github.com/mattetti/macruby_website/ * clone and pull your branch locally * create a new topic branch, work on the post, git rebase interactive/squash commits * push your branch/commit to your branch and email the list/me to let us know that the article is ready * I'll cherry pick your commit and push it to the svn repo * after verification, Laurent will redeploy the site. Advice: * try to communicate with other contributors so we don't end up with 2 people working on the same post. * if you want to cover something that isn't a status update or major change, please get in touch with one of us or post to the mailing list. * I might be on a trip or not available so don't hesitate to send me a reminder or contact the mailing list if I don't get back to you. Technical details about the blog engine: The website is developed using webby http://webby.rubyforge.org/ You obviously need to have webby installed on your machine. ($ sudo gem install webby) Using $ webby autobuild will let you preview the site in your browser.(it should run and open http://localhost:4331/) To create a new blog post template, simply do: $ webby blog:post Mike, if that's ok with you, could you write a tutorial ($ webby create:tutorial ) on how to write and submit a blog post?
