Just thought it worth mentioning, we now collectively do own camping.io - this is where judofyr's site will go when it's ready, and we're planning to use github pages as hosting for now (yes, we won't be running it as a dynamic camping website, seeing as we can't think of any good dynamic functionality)
Speaking of dynamic functionality. Do you guys remember the old ruby/rails beast forums? They kind of died out, but a really simple clean forum can be a really nice thing, and it send a clear message by being publicly readable - camping is not dead. You wouldn't need to join a mailing list to find that out. I've been thinking about forums a lot lately, and I think http://camendesign.com/nononsense_forum is a really great way to build a really simple forum - you use folders for sub forums, and rss or atom feeds for threads. This way you can subscribe to them also, and it has a built in API of sorts. Probably atom is the way to go. rss is a bit of a hack job. I'm really keen to kill this myth that camping is inactive. Another way I think we might do this is to bring in camping-related projects as well. In the same way rails is the home of active record, perhaps camping aught to be the home of things like mab. — Jenna Fox
