What now?

[Philippe Monnet]

I like the idea of updating the  rubyforge site,  but  having a main  
site  to  publicize  Camping would  be a nice addition and would  have 
the benefit of being easier for people to find or remember (especially 
if they are new to Ruby). I really like:

    * rubycamping.com
    * campingframework.com

Here is an additional suggestion: rubyoncamping.com (like ROR).
The new site could act as a portal for everything Camping, such as news, 
rotating features on sites using Camping, code snippets, etc.
