Having a new official release would be great especially since Sinatra
published their 1.0 release yesterday. ;-)
The new Rubyforge page would be nice but wouldn't a more
marketing-centric site help increase adoption?

I am one of those Camping friends (although I've been too busy with

I was wondering how we can help with next steps?
I keep seeing all the attention going to the Sinatra framework (and
Rails of course) and would love to help more with promoting Camping. It
would be great if one of our web designer / Camping friend could help
create a catchy visual for the site.
I really doubt we need something of that scale. A shared hosting
account with passenger support would be fine and dandy for now.

Regardless, it's not my impression that the domain name plays much

nearly never show up on the first page of results, despite that

Agreed, but ideally it would be great to have it updated as the dead

impression that Camping is neglected (also with the CHANGELOG frozen
at 1.5 in 2006), and that's a bit sad for such a nice little
framework! Perhaps the
