Camping book

[Dave Everitt]

I added some basic material to the GitHub Camping Wiki (new pages):
   http://wiki.github.com/camping/camping

...because I'm starting with a vanilla OS X Leopard install (new  
MacBook) and - finally - Camping 1.9, and I thought it would be a  
good test run to go through the setup and tutorial process in the  
'Camping book':
   http://stuff.judofyr.net/camping-docs/book/02_getting_started.html
to find any gotchas.

Only one (in my setup) - on 'Wrapping it up', in the Controllers:
   class Pages
needs the explicit
   class Pages < R '/'
to show the pages... anyone not have the same issue?

Thinking about existing stuff, some time ago Magnus wrote:

The book dir on GitHub doesn't have all the current content found at:
   http://stuff.judofyr.net/camping-docs/book/
or in the Camping install (unless I'm daft, which is possible) so  
where can the current book files be obtained?

I don't think there was a response at the time Magnus wrote this, so  
(given whywentcamping.com, which would be a separate exercise):  
ideas, opinions, anyone? Be really good to have camping.rubyforge.org  
updated, and I'm ready to pitch in, but how to start?
