I like the idea of the site being built on Camping and combining
mini-apps and static content all integrated with jQuery for example. I
am currently running two Camping 2.0 apps on Heroku and they work great.
Hosting on Heroku would be also be convenient because of the ability to
add Git contributors and because of the ease of deployment.

Hi Philippe
I am one of those Camping friends (although I've been too busy with
clients just lately to do much). Although I just posted links to your
Camping 'add-ons' to the wiki :-)
I agree about Sinatra - from curiosity I've even dabbled with it
myself (shame!), although it is nice that Camping still has a small
community feel. Perhaps some _why-type cartoons (along the lines you
suggest) might be the right way forward for a 'This is Camping'
website. Or just keep things clean and minimal.
As for content, that was covered in another post to the list some time
ago, as was a domain name. Magnus has the substance (tutorial,
examples, etc.) and a nice CSS style for the blog example. Maybe start
with a developed version of the Camping blog on Heroku (free) so we
can each add Camping-related posts to keep things fresh?
It's just making enough time to put it all together... I'd be happy to
chip in, but what's the best way to build a whole site that uses
Camping - a collection of apps and generated static pages? I once used
Camping 1.5 (running as CGI) as an easy way to make a simple multipage
wireframe mockup, but...

I was wondering how we can help with next steps?
I keep seeing all the attention going to the Sinatra framework (and
Rails of course) and would love to help more with promoting Camping.
It would be great if one of our web designer / Camping friend could
help create a catchy visual for the site. How about a night time view
of a camp fire with a tent and maybe a small projector with a big
silver screen where we could display rotating content / slides? Any
other crazy concepts?
