<small><font color="#3333ff"><font face="Lucida Sans Unicode">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:<br>
</font></font></small>
<ul>
<li><font color="#3333ff"><small><font face="Lucida Sans Unicode">rubycamping.com</font></small></font></li>
<li><font color="#3333ff"><small><font face="Lucida Sans Unicode">campingframework.com</font></small></font><br>
</li>
</ul>
<small><font color="#3333ff"><font face="Lucida Sans Unicode">Here is
an additional suggestion: rubyoncamping.com (like ROR).<br>
The new site could act as a portal for everything Camping, such as
news, rotating features on sites using Camping, code snippets, etc.<br>

as the dead links (redhanded.hobix.com, code.whytheluckystiff.net etc.)
give the 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 community could list and collate the necessary
changes/updates on each page, then updating could be shared (I'd be
more than willing to do updates)?
<br>
<br>
An external website would be an extra to collect links and provide an
overview, with - say - where get Camping, recent examples from the
community, how-to guides (or links and previews), etc. all in one
SEO-optimised place. Also, Camping does have some advantages over - say
- Sinatra (one being that Sintra needs a reload with each code update)
- these aren't immediately apparent unless pointed out. A few of the
best Ruby Micro-frameworks deserve a fair hearing, and Camping isn't
getting all the web presence it deserves - that's what motivates me!

with some small apps, but nothing impressive), but I'd be more than
happy to be webmaster. If I could get someone to work with, that'd be
even better, of course.

<blockquote type="cite">Dave: Nice alternative... all that's
needed is a chosen domain, a friendly host and to share out the
webmastering :-) With a little commitment from a couple of people, I'd
provide the hosting and domain.
