I have slightly touched the Exhibit pattern in your book, as I am
working with JSON too in "side-projects" next to my job. I only have
been doing Rails-fulltime development since 7 months, but the code
bases I am working with are around 70k-160k LOC. With my
side-projects, I am not yet very far, but it's mainly 2 ideas that I
am working on:
- https://github.com/mulderp/Backbone-on-Rails-todoDemo -> The idea
is to apply the Backbone-MVC to a standard Rails app, where
controllers respond mainly to/with JSON data. I have a variation for a
Blog application, and I am actually taking a lot of inspiration from
Avdi's examples (right now, mainly dependency injection)
- https://github.com/mulderp/streama_testapp -> The idea is to track
activities with help of the ActivityStreams specification and the
streama Gem . This could lead to a nice building block for different
web 2.0 ideas.
Related to contributing: I am mainly having some time to work on
tasks 2-3 times during the week in the evening, CET, and some hours in
the weekend. My contributions would target to help with conversation,
promoting, feedback and discussions on the Gem, and hopefully with
some useful specs and code too (where I would be happily learning from
your feedback).
My proposals for a name of the gem would be related to an
"exhibition", and these can take place in a "Gallery", in the "Louvre"
or in an "Aquarium" for waterworlds.
Let me know if you see some chance for collaboration!
Thanks in any case,
Patrick
