@Julik: I agree about the 1.5.180 but it would be good to have it
become 'official' - the main problem is that many of the Camping
links out there don't refer to it, so people are downloading 1.5,
trying the examples and having some problems e.g.:
"I've had a lot of people contact me asking questions about errors
and issues with content from my presentation or from conversations
with them when really the only issue was that they were on 1.5 and
needed to be on trunk." (2008, Keeping Camping going: msg#00008
lang.ruby.camping.general) - Jeremy McAnally
He also has a nice Camping presentation (also in PDF) from 2007:

My own tutorial materials will evolve as I use Camping, and I'll
share them if things turns out okay. At present, I'm using it to
generate static pages for prototyping a website, a purpose for which
it works very well (a Camping niche market!?). As soon as I get the
blog example working well with 1.5.180, I'll write that up too.
Then on to 2.0? The only thing holding me back there is getting Rack
up and running and playing nicely with Apache. So far I've just seen
(and reversed) the lobster from the rack gem, but have yet to make
time to do the latter.
In order to get a more complete picture, I spent most of last week
researching (and trying) other more compact Ruby frameworks out there
(http://wiki.ramaze.net/Home#other-frameworks). It seems Ramaze and
Sinatra have the edge when it comes to nice and informative websites.
Jeremy McAnally's Vintage also seem okay, but I'm not sure about Wuby
and some of the others have very poor documentation or web presence.
I still like Camping, but there's a way to go if we're going to match
the Sinatra or Ramaze sites, and that's something to which I'd
certainly like to contribute.

Well if Magnus has indeed released 1.5.180 then this is the latest
baseline stable. I am running it on many apps and it works pretty
OK with most irritating bugs (like R not working properly for
additiona option hashes) weeded out. If you are into experiments,
you can try 2.0 but I never tried it out in earnest.
If you want to issue good reading materials to students you will
possibly have to write them yourself, must be doable in a day.
