Congratulations to [simscass], the most recent person to join the
storied ranks of Plans contributors!

Who's going to be the next person to make it onto the leaderboard?[1] I

up! If you're having any trouble getting going on the bite-sized
projects, I'm here to help.

Hi Ian,
I am currently in the process of moving from Grinnell to Seattle. I start working on the 5th of July. I will be more involved after then.

Thanks,
Shitanshu

Ok, I felt guilty, so I stubbed the tests for all the models and added
some validations to the models. I'm claiming secrets (hey, it looked
quick and easy) and the autofinger list.

Ian, are you especially attached to Mocha? It seems on the
non-standard side of things, and breaks some of the rspec features
relating to mocks. Would you be ok with FactoryGirl instead
(https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl_rails) I think it'd
really help us with our mocks. I've started to add Factory Girl, but
I'll put mocha back if you want.

[Ian Young]

My preference is actually to use both: Factory Girl for model construction, and Mocha for mocking/stubbing. I added Mocha because I was familiar with it, and the Rspec mocking features seemed somewhat lacking (I forget the specifics, but they didn't offer one highly useful feature, perhaps it was any_instance, or something to do with expectations). However, I'm open to other options if there's something that fits our needs better. If you rewrite the current specs in something else without sacrificing correctness or conciseness, I'll probably be convinced :)
