Re: Need input on proposed tweaks to www.ruby-camping.com

It's an artefact of Microsoft's plainly terrible type engine. I'm not sure how to fix it or even if it's possible to fix it, short of manually fattening up the typeface and User-Agent sniffing to serve differently weighted typefaces to Microsoft platforms. There are tons of things which are more important to me than making a custom typeface just to work around windows 'features'. I'll keep pondering for now. Also, the header breaks in Firefox - the fills do not fit the outlines: http://imgur.com/cJXoq.png I'm aware of this issue and I fixed it in github yesterday (!) and sent a pull request to Judofyr, however it hasn't been pushed yet to rubyforge. The issue is to do with kerning data being stripped from one of the fonts and not the other, an easy fix. Windows is far more aggressive than other platforms in manipulating and modifying typefaces in it's attempts to mathematically optimise them for display on computer screens. Most times this backfires, but like I said, it's fixed now, I just don't have the ability to push the update. Meanwhile: Working on moving the whole thing over to being backed by the GitHub wiki, making it much more dynamic, and giving you all the opportunity to contribute to making the camping site great, without having to figure out webby and the rest. The wiki mirroring version is working really well locally. — Jenna___ Camping-list mailing list Camping-list@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list
Don't understand one part of the book
Hi Guys/Gals. I am new to the world of Camping. It looks very simple. I have two issues: - What types of applications is Camping more suitable than Rails. - The part Modeling the World in http://camping.rubyforge.org/book/02_getting_started.html is not clear for me where I have to encounter: If you want to migrate up to version one, create the skeleton for the Page model, which should be able to store, title which is a string, content which is a larger text, created_at which is the time it was created, updated_at which is the previous time it was updated. I am not able to get this message.

Re: Don't understand one part of the book
Hi Quiliro Camping is good for what you want it to be - e.g. - create small focussed applications that can work together, - make an app that does a useful thing for yourself, - experiment and enjoy! Take a look at the wiki - it's a work in progress, but there's plenty to help explain: http://github.com/camping/camping/wiki/WhyWentCamping-Homepage The text simply explains in plain language what the code above actually does, that's all :-) Dave Everitt Hi Guys/Gals.

Re: Don't understand one part of the book
Great help. Thank you all for the different angles of answers given to my question. The links are great to keep learning and the explanations give a detailed view of the tool. :-) -- Saludos/Greetings Quiliro Ordóñez 593(2)340 1517 / 593(9)821 8696 Even The Troops Are Waking Up http://tinyogg.com/watch/My8SB/ ACTA – Un acuerdo que puede garantizar la crucificción de internethttp://quiliro.wordpress.com GNU should mean GNU's not Ubuntu!http://quidam.cc/03-03-2010/gnu-should-mean-gnus-not-ubuntu Lo único que se necesita para que triunfe el mal es que los hombres de bien no hagan nada.

Wiki Writing Requests!
Heya! So I'm trying to get this new website all tied up in a nice little bunch. I'm a bit silly when it comes to git-fu though. Could one of you create a page on the camping/camping wiki called 'Contributing', and put stuff in it which tells people how to do that? Use Markdown or Textile. Doesn't really matter which. I'm moving most of the articles I work on over to Markdown because textile and my brain don't like each other and I don't much like being stuck in the middle of their squabbles. Do whatever though. Thanks a bunch. — Pony ___ Camping-list mailing list Camping-list@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list
