Just drop me an e-mail in case > you are interested. i am interested. austin recently sent me one too (thanks austin). feel free to send it to me or, even better, post it on rubygarden. sure seems like there is a lot of momentum in this area but not much direction - i mean, there is a lot of people rolling there own because they didn't quite like this or that or needed this or that. i've been asking alot of my friends and usemod (the single perl script) seems like it's winning the popularity contest around here - i wonder why _exactly_... i just read my own post and decided that rubygarden needs a place to compile common specifications - like specifications for what an uber wiki would do. my hope is that people, when starting a project, could create a specification page and let people have at it. after some time, one could filter and prioritize based on the wants/needs of the community. the starting place for specifications can be found at: http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?CategorySpec and the spec page for the uber wiki at: http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?UberWiki -a ==================================== | Ara Howard | NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory | Information and Technology Services | Data Systems Group | R/FST 325 Broadway | Boulder, CO 80305-3328 | Email: ara.t.howard@noaa.gov | Phone: 303-497-7238 | Fax: 303-497-7259 | ~ > ruby -e 'p(%.\x2d\x29..intern)' ====================================
