Hi folks,
With the recent spate of plugins posted on Ruby Ireland, it's probably fair to say that everyone's got plenty of junk in their trunk (master branch). I was feeling left out, so I've started work on a plugin to help build Qt apps on Rails (Qt being a world class cross-platform GUI toolkit). The project is called qtonrails and is still pretty new but I'm putting out there in search of contributors, feedback and all the usual FOSS love. In particular, people with experience of Qt to help guide the plugin development is what I most need right now. But anyone's welcome on board. It's available for install as a Rails plugin at http://github.com/theirishpenguin/qtonrails
Ciao,
Dec

I'd probably be interested in working on this... Time allowing of
course. If I make it along later, we can have a chat about it.
Another idea would be to do a bit of a sprint on the Typo blogging
system. This seems to be a good system, but it falls down in some
places, its caching system seems fairly poor. It could be jazzed up
to, and the module system could be improved. I see no reason something
written in Ruby cannot be at least as good as say Wordpress and the
benefits of this are two fold, we could use it for ruby ireland, and
also contribute back to a fairly good project.
Regards,
Michael

Haven't looked at Typo. But it is definately worth a go if we can target the specific problems it has and if suits what the Ruby Ireland wants.
Would be good to see what people think of the proposed ideas to date tonite and get a feel for what direction the site may go in.

Definately not taboo. People can work on anything. If you want to code with punchcards, that's not taboo either!
Just a retiterate, I'll have one 4 plug extension adaptor with me. If anyone else thinks of one then please bring it along. It's also handy to have a full charge in your laptop before any event like this too.

I've used Typo before, way back in 2005 - then I moved to mephisto,
then my own app.
Its probably moved along a bit since then i'd expect.

Taking a look at Mephisto now... looks good and hella more mature than
Typo. Tempted to install it now, but must not procrastinate.

The other hot shit in Ruby blogging is Jekyll:

... not quite the same thing, but maybe better depending on where
you're looking from.
