Hello Campers...
I've just finished a (hopefully) nicer-looking Camping 1.5 blog
example, adapted from one of the originals:
http://pastie.org/560295
Things I've done:
added a delete class,
combined the add/edit/delete method into one,
made a little 'cooked up while camping' logo,
tweaked the CSS so it looks kind-of-ready for deployment,
called it 'tentpole' because it's so simple (that's a joke).
I know there's the clean, new example for v2 on Github, but I don't
have Camping v2 up and running yet (I will, soon), so this is for
anyone who needs to point to a simple, working a 1.5-ready example
with minimal setup requirements.
Still keen on Magnus' documentation ideas (below) and happy to
start... I think the book should be a Camping app :-)

Right now there is an example at camping.rubyforge.org showing a
blog skeleton (with controllers, models and views). It might be
better to rather have a tiny, fully functional one (to get the feel
of Camping), and a link to blog.rb (which should be simplified even
more, and actually work). The book could then take it from there
and slightly expand into the blog.rb (or maybe even totally
different; we should at least end up with something)
Magnus' documentation proposal:
What if we split the documentation into three parts?
- README.txt should be the first you see and should contain basic
info and links.
- API-reference. A one-page reference to the whole Camping API
which gives you short descriptions/explanations and might also give
a link to the book (see below) for more detailed thoughts.
- A "book" or tutorial which guides the user from A-Z, starting
with installation and how to use The Camping Server, through basic
MVC and HTTP/REST to how to use service-overrides or middlewares.
It would be really nice if this could be a clean, short and concise
guide to both Ruby and web development.
