status of documatic?
Jeffrey 'jf' Lim
(http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-reports/browse_thread/thread/3b02bad64fd4f57f),
and it isnt even clear documatic's at right now. I'm searching on
github - but I dont see anything regarding documatic. I'm looking at
http://code.rubyreports.org/ - and 3 of the 4 links given ("wiki",
"bugs", and "feed") result in a 404, while the other 1 of the 4 links
("source") asks for a password.
So: is documatic still being maintained now? Where can I find
documentation about how to use it wrt ruports? The Ruport Book doesn't
cover this at all, and only mentions documatic in passing.

but I still get the digests. So while I can't answer your question, I
did see this announced somewhere recently:
http://github.com/kremso/serenity
It seems to duplicate the functionality of documatic, but is actively
maintained.

thanks. I have seen that - and will most likely be using that if i
dont get a proper reply here/dont see any real update regarding
documatic. I do wonder, though, with the point of keeping the
documatic reference in http://code.rubyreports.org/ if those links are
going to be so dead, or protected...

I've never touched Documatic and have no idea about its status. But
since those links do not work anymore I will remove them. Thanks for
pointing it out.

I have written a library to generate ODF spreadsheets programmatically:
http://github.com/maximkulkin/spreadsheet
I want to integrate it with Ruport, although it requires changing the API: Ruport requires that you have a start / end API while my library uses blocks.

It looks like all of those links -- not just the ones for documatic --
are broken. Every link to 'source' is 403, and every link to 'wiki',
'bugs', and 'feed' are 404. A subversion checkout I did a couple of
weeks ago now wants a password to update. Also, no one has been in
the freenode #ruport channel for the week or so that I've been idling
there except for a GitHub bot. Has the project moved completely to
github? Was there any content on the wiki and will it come back?

I stopped paying for the account. Everything Ruport related is now on
github (including the website) and is maintained by Andrew France.
Documatic was never officially supported by us, and given that its
maintainer is no longer around, I think it's more-or-less a dead
project.
I suggest someone forking it and putting it on github, so that it
can survive a bit.
Sorry for the lack of communication here folks, it's hard enough for
me
to keep up with Prawn, so Ruport doesn't get much love from me
anymore.
But for any of the Ruport related resources, Andrew has the keys and
my
full blessings (as well as Mike Milner's) to take Ruport where he sees
fit.

So anyone can work on it, I have tried to contact urbanus to notify
this fork.
