Just thought it worth mentioning, we now collectively do own camping.io - this is where judofyr's site will go when it's ready, and we're planning to use github pages as hosting for now (yes, we won't be running it as a dynamic camping website, seeing as we can't think of any good dynamic functionality) Speaking of dynamic functionality. Do you guys remember the old ruby/rails beast forums? They kind of died out, but a really simple clean forum can be a really nice thing, and it send a clear message by being publicly readable - camping is not dead. You wouldn't need to join a mailing list to find that out. I've been thinking about forums a lot lately, and I think http://camendesign.com/nononsense_forum is a really great way to build a really simple forum - you use folders for sub forums, and rss or atom feeds for threads. This way you can subscribe to them also, and it has a built in API of sorts. Probably atom is the way to go. rss is a bit of a hack job. I'm really keen to kill this myth that camping is inactive. Another way I think we might do this is to bring in camping-related projects as well. In the same way rails is the home of active record, perhaps camping aught to be the home of things like mab. — Jenna Fox ___ Camping-list mailing list Camping-list@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list

I've recently been using Arch linux and 90% of the appeal comes from their awesome user-led wiki.. Something which we can gradually add to, build on camping of course, and which hand-holds beginners would be ideal I think On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 5:55 AM, Jenna Fox a...@creativepony.com wrote: Just thought it worth mentioning, we now collectively do own camping.io - this is where judofyr's site will go when it's ready, and we're planning to use github pages as hosting for now (yes, we won't be running it as a dynamic camping website, seeing as we can't think of any good dynamic functionality) Speaking of dynamic functionality.

Re: +1 shorter domain name
That sounds great, but I remain skeptical that people will spend the time necessary to write good quality articles (or anything at all) on a wiki, seeing as we have had a wiki as our entire website for quite a long time. Do you have any thoughts on who would contribute and what their motivations would be? — Jenna Fox On Wednesday, 1 February 2012 at 2:18 PM, adam moore wrote: I've recently been using Arch linux and 90% of the appeal comes from their awesome user-led wiki..
