Also in the spirit of SEO, maybe we just need to have multiple domain names all linking back or redirecting to ruby-camping.com. I am willing to buy and commit to ruby-camping.com so anyone else is free to buy campingrb.com or any other naming permutation they like. This way we can all have

Ok I would really like to get the promo site going so that we have something up and running before Why Day (Aug 19th per http://whyday.org/). I propose the following: 1. I can go ahead and buy the ruby-camping.com domain - should someone also buy the .org equivalent? I think the promo site

Hi Steve - I really like that idea. Of course, someone (us) is going to have to actually purchase the domain at some point :-) - Dave E I don't know if it's available or not, but why not campingrb.com rather than ruby-camping.com? Many of the other small web frameworks follow this url

My preference would be to have Ruby explicitly mentioned in the name and a clear easy-to-read url. This makes it a bit more SEO friendly too which is important for a promo site. IMHO suffixing with rb is not very visually attractive. On 7/23/2010 9:39 AM, Steve Klabnik wrote: I don't know if

Anyone know who did this: http://camping.tumblr.com/ ? Dave E Jenna: I suggest a tumblr, because it doesn't cost anything, can have group committers, all the features we need, and it too is connected to the rich heritage of _why :) ___

I love the idea of having Key/Value databases available to camping apps as a standard thing on the platform. They aren't the same thing as a filesystem though, and I don't think we should pretend otherwise. If we don't want to give users filesystem access, that's *fine*, even though I don't see

I agree wholly on the design front, and would like to contribute cartoony doodles and simple (not Backend Web Developer simple, but Designer Simple) web designs in vaguely _why's quirky fun style, if you guys are up for that. I'm currently rather more focused on Hackety Hack's web stuff, but in

Another passing thought: It'd be very much in the spirit of freeform fun little hacks if the camping website included a section of user created apps. They would need to be moderated somehow, unless someone were to set up a try-rubyish highly sandboxed environment to run them. It just seems like

I agree to the separation as well. A site that introduces camping with a simple example/tutorial and that links to a wiki (with more advanced stuff) and the mailing list is a good way to go about it. Dave On Thu, Jul 8, 2010 at 10:20 PM, Philippe Monnet r...@monnet-usa.com wrote: Yeah, I agree

Yeah, I agree that it makes sense to have two sites, one to promote Camping and one to serve as the official reference. And a wiki would be very convenient for that. On 7/8/2010 1:55 PM, Magnus Holm wrote: Hey guys, Philippe had some interesting points about the website: 1. Keep the home
