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.

Agreed, but ideally it would be great to have it updated 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)?
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!

Awesome suggestion, but we let's not forget that
camping.rubyforge.org has served us well :-)

I second the whywentcamping.com domain.
Dave: great, that's a start. One more person and we're there!
Matt: I'm new to Camping (played around 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.
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.
