Hey, This weekend brought a little flurry of code (from Eric) and discussion (from a bunch of people). The discussion mostly dealt with a few different approaches to solve a problem that Eric had already solved.
I wanted to open a discussion about the future of the pdxruby app. Most of the people watching this list have either actively participated in the development of it or watched with above-average interest. I think this discussion is good to start here before we start asking the general list. So, the question is: what features do we need? What features do we want? Eric made the good point that it's supposed to be a learning experience... what technically-challenging (or common but kinda hard) things are we missing that we could benefit from implementing? One thing that I thought would be kinda cool would be to build a small polling system in. Something where we could post questions and let people answer on the site. For instance, say in a couple of months we're trying to decide where to hold a meet'n'beer. I put up a poll suggesting OTP, Lucky Lab, or Roots. Someone else comes in and suggests Bar 71 (in pretend-land where it's not closed :(). Everyone who has participated gets emailed saying there's a new option, you want to go change your mind? Other things that could use love: - Timestamp displays (they're very verbose. Clean 'em up?) - RSVP comment fixes (if there's no comment, don't try to show it, etc) - Article list enhancements (show by author, things like that) What else? Anybody got some pet idea they want to hack on? Let's hear about it! Also, what is the Next Project we want to take on as a group? I still want to have a portfest, converting some awesome CPAN modules to Ruby, but that might take some planning.
