Spent part of the weekend hacking around in Rails documentation. Made my first core-ish commit as part of the docrails project.

  • Capistrano 2.5.0 - With additional task-management goodness.

  • GetBundle - TextMate bundle to get other TextMate bundles. Why didn't I install this ages ago?

  • RailsWheels - An attempt to build a licensing and commercial sales infrastructure for Rails plugins.

  • Configatron 1.0.0 Released - General-purpose manager for configuration variables in Ruby applications. (via RubyFlow)

  • AsciiDoc - The markup system being used for core Rails documentation.

  • Source-Highlight - You'll need this to get good output from AsciiDoc. Fortunately there's a port, but the port is a bit broken. On OS X 10.5, I had to install the boost port first (sudo port -v install boost) and then install the source-highlight port (sudo port install source-highlight) to get it to work. Do use the -v switch on boost; it takes for-bloody-ever to build and that's the only way you'll be reassured that it hasn't rolled over and died.

  • AsciiDoc TextMate Bundle - Still in its early days.

  • Rails Guides HackFest - I was actually writing before this was announced. Good timing for me, though.
