anyone interested int these domain names?  I purchased them but have no time to do anything with them.


They expire on 11/12/2011

I don't remember what it cost to register them and I don't know what it costs to transfer them. I'll accept any offer from "Give them to me now!" to "Here's a million dollars go retire."

I'd offer you a million dollars, but I haven't beat Facebook yet. ;)

As I recall, TJ had started a node cookbook of sorts, perhaps he'll be interested. If not, I could host it myself.

we're still breaking the API a lot, a some libraries that seem quite popular could be abandoned or pushed aside for new ones.

it's really early in the lifecycle of node and *any* documentation project is going to bear a heavy burden staying up to date.

Well, sites like howtonode.org exist regardless. It can definitely be a challenge keeping up, but I think these kinds of resources are valuable and someone will have to carry the burden eventually. If no one else wants the task, I might take it. I eat-sleep-breathe node, so I've already got my head in the water anyway.

One of this domains would be perfect for a documentation project where
the node API could stay. Interesting would be other module developers
being able to post documentation too (moderated perhaps..).

I think it's very much needed to strengthen the node user community - especially if easy to contribute and modify (I'm happy to contribute but not offended if others change my submissions for a better solution) - if api breaks well, if easy to modify then it just gets changed as necessary

1st step would be to pick a doc format - wiki ? 
2nd - outline some categories perhaps: db, server/sockets, ....
@stephan - please take the plunge of establishing it - then hopefully myself and others just start contributing

my vote for someone to contribute: how to: create a https login (with node as server)

ps: culling some posts on this list and stackoverflow would already provide a bunch of recipes

Well, I'm currently working on an as-yet direction-less MVC framework. Perhaps this would be a good test for it. It has social login via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, so perhaps I could use that to make it easily accessible while also helping to identify people that want to join as contributors. Adding Github OAuth would be even better. :)

What do you think of allowing any existing contributor to approve new ones? It'd allow it to grow relatively safely without too much admin burden on a select few people.

I'm seriously considering this, so if you have any great ideas on how this should work let me know.

It's up to whoever takes them. I don't have the time to develop the site that was in my head so instead of sitting on the domains I figured I would give them to someone with spare time ;)

Well, I don't have any money at the moment, but if no one else makes an offer I'll take them. :)

How about this offer:

Keep them (I'll pick up the tab) and throw in a years low-end hosting.
Then we setup a wiki there and try to get an actual node-cookbook
started.

After that we'll see what we have a year from now and take it from
there. I do think that a better documentation site with examples, as
well as a better interface to list/search/view NPM packages would be a
good thing.

Regards, Philipp

I've decided I am going to make a site for that, but I'm building it off a half-done system at the moment, so it's not going to be launching tomorrow. ;)

I might have something to show in a week or something like that. I'll be open sourcing the CouchDB ORM I'm making for it though, which should hopefully be done tomorrow.

If you need any help, I'm available.

I can do that. I don't mind paying for hosting or keeping up the domains I just don't have time to write articles or keep up with node. 

Which version of wiki would be a good one to use?

I think any wiki would be great. The only thing I think would be best
appropriate would be to have Markdown syntax (for simpler import from
github).

good suggestion - I think markdown even makes more sense than wiki since it allows for easier submission.  Did the hosting thing get resolved so we can start submitting recipes ?

Hi,

I'm working on a wiki project for node. I used Express as web framework, and Git as file storage. It supports file history tracking, github-twitter-google authentication and it will have a great user interface.

If you like, I can publish it on Github, so anyone interested can collaborate on it. and we can put it on this domains you offered. The benefit are:

1) written on Nodejs.
2) Database is not required.
3) Good interface for programmers ( take a look and get what you want! )
4) It will be easy to develop it later to support new features.

If you want the code, I can publish it ( I didn't do that because it is not in a state easy to understand what's going on, But I can do this in a few hours with a little documentation ).

Cheers!

I see docuwiki is up on nodecookbook, is it going to stay that way (and can we get markdown). If it is we can start writing stuff.

Hi,

Check out guides.sproutcore.com.  We just started to use this with the SC Community and it has helped out greatly.  Perhaps we the Node community can start the motion for a guidelines project.

Thoughts?

I have put dokuwiki on nodecookbook.com. I've added the markdown plugin. Someone try it out and let me know if you can add pages.

I changed the template to monobook. Let me know if there is a better template.

I'm curious, why is the modules list on the github wiki starting to be
duplicated here: http://nodecookbook.com/doku.php?id=protocols ?

those are going to be step by step tutorials on using them, rather than a listing. i havent had time to start pumping in code w/ explanations yet.
