I have thought of a documentation system where you can lookup and see what gems are available — w/o knowing the name.

 Shall we build a group project?

Cynthia Kiser <c...@ugcs.caltech.edu> Jun 23 10:13PM -0700  

There has been a lot of interest in doing a group project to get experience
with the tools and techniques we have been reading about. I am game - if we
can find a suitable project.
 
What would make a suitable project? Something with most of the following
attributes:
 
1. Modest initial scope / minimal viable product. The group needs to see
some measurable progress in a summer's worth of Wednesday evenings. It may
be helpful if the project has several separable components so smaller
subsets can work independently on one aspect or another.
 
2. A client or product owner with a deep understanding of the problem we
are trying to solve. That person doesn't need to know much about code - but
they do need to understand what they need and be willing to describe it to
the group and answer questions as we figure out what to build.
 
3. Something that can be openly available. We will have a group of people
contributing all of whom need to have their own copy of the code repository
and test data.
 
If no one has a project of their own that fits, perhaps you know someone
who does. Or is there an existing open source project that might be
interesting to collaborate on? For example RefineryCMS or ??? what else
strikes everyone's fancy?
 
 
If you have something suitable - or know someone who does - please start
discussing your idea here and be prepared to refine it further at our
meeting on July 2nd, 2014 at Caltech.

I've always wanted to build an open-source gem/ruby executable which would
allow you to migrate to-from heroku and aws. Bonus points if it could map a
heroku plugin to a corresponding aws service and auto-build it out for you.
 
Would be a bit of work, I imagine though..

I usually use a combination of looking at
https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/ and https://www.rubygems.org/ What would
your system offer that those two sites doe not? And how do you plan to
get data on 'all available gems'?

That would be most useful. I'd like to be able to see a gem in use before I install it. That would be useful.
