Scheduled for the February meetup is a hackfest, a pretty open ended concept. I thought it'd be cool if some of us planning to work on projects announce our ideas so interested parties can chime in or take note. We've got a four hour budget, remember.
Currently I'm planning to work on Cheat 2.0: adding tags to the wiki and a --tag flag to the command line client to help organize / discover new sheets. That, and test/specin' camping. Help most welcome. Unless one of you is working on something cooler.

Sounds good Chris. I have a project in mind that I'd like to tackle at some point but it requires hacking on rdoc which everyone (including you I believe) has told me sucks...
Basically I'm up for whatever. I've never been to a hackfest before so I'm a little unclear on how it works.
I also don't know what to expect at the hackfest but I have been working on a small pet/side project and want to play some either Watir (a web app testing framework for ruby) or some drag and drop effects with scriptaculous for it. I also worried constantly about optimizing the SQL queries...
Also, just as a reminder to those that live in the peninsula... There is another ruby meetup/hackfest this Sunday at Stanford! Here is the link for that: http://ruby.meetup.com/82/
One patch on my to-do list is the one brought up by Zach in http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/XXXX. Both our implementations get some things right, some wrong. I think this might be a fun one to work on. If no one else is interested I'd be up for joining Chris in the test/spec Camping world.

Yeah that would be a good one to hammer out. I'd also like to peak over Chris's shoulder for some spec action as I haven't yet dabbled in this...

Sweet. Maybe we can get some people together for a BDD demonstration with test/spec.

I have some interesting ideas regarding how to make fixtures suck less, esp. in the context of BDD/RSpec. I was hoping to get some feedback on the general idea, and maybe start up a project for making a releasable project. I've got working code for Rails 1.1.6, but it hasn't been widely tested, and I hacked it up at like 5am a couple of month ago.
(This would be the "make a plugin and see if people like it" stage of trying to get rails-core to make fixtures suck less.)

That sounds pretty interesting. I've been using Tom Werner's fixture_scenarios plugin lately, and it helps with a few issue though not all. I haven't yet tried the caboose awesome_fixtures plugin, but it sounds kind of neat. Were you thinking of something along those lines, or something as yet unheard of?
