The images in trunk/doc/design_images/ are the results of the first brainstorming and design meeting that John, Jason, and I had. They're pretty much the seed that the hackfest design was built from. Basically, the #1 goal was to have the website avoid the "herding cats" problem we see so often on the list when trying to organize events any time there's not a clear answer for when and where something is happening (or there is, but people forget/change details/whatever). After that, the membership roster, RSS support, etc. were designed to help establish a bit more of a sense of community, and to provide some way to say, "yes, I am a participating member in PDX.rb" more concretely than just subscribing to the mailing list. -- Lennon rcoder.net _______________________________________________ PdxRuby-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxruby.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxruby-dev
