Hey everyone- Yesterday, I was sitting around, and a thought popped into my head: we still don't have a real domain for Shoes. So I spent $10, and registered shoesrb.com This is in line with a bunch of other Ruby libraries, and was open, so I took it. This gives us a slightly more 'professional' look than the current site... Devyn passed over the Heroku account where the website lives to me, since I have a verified account, and I've set it up. So check it out: http://shoesrb.com/ Also, after talking with all of the great new people we have in the project, I've realized that a lot of our documentation and ways that we explain ourselves to the world kind of sucks. If you read the ML all the time, you'll be in the know, but otherwise, the project is a bit opaque. So, I registered a tumblr account for an official Shoes blog, and hooked it up to http://blog.shoesrb.com/ I've just posted the first major piece, talking about the new colors of Shoes: http://blog.shoesrb.com/post/1291140944/shoes-4-now-in-multiple-colors I plan on writing for this on a regular basis, but if anybody else has anything to say, let me know... on top of all of that, while I was at it, I figured I might as well go the whole 9 yards. So I investigated a few options for a Shoes Twitter account, and, as we discussed before, there are no good ones available. The best I could find was @shoooesrb, so I grabbed it up. I've petitioned Twitter to give us access to either @shoesrb or @shoes, as both are pretty inactive. We'll see what they say. If anyone has any thoughts, comments, or wants to help out, I'd love to hear from you. @shoooesrb will be following all of you shortly.
This is probably a good time to remind everyone that if they want an account for the CMS on the website (we're using Redmine) they just need to ask. Steve—you have access to the code, but no Redmine account, so I'll get that set up for you. Anyway, I like where this is headed, and thanks, Steve, for donating so much to the cause :) On Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 6:46 AM, Steve Klabnik <steve@steveklabnik.com>wrote: > Hey everyone- > > Yesterday, I was sitting around, and a thought popped into my head: we > still don't have a real domain for Shoes.

Great work, Steve! Also, if you're looking for a good twitter name, @rubyshoes is free - beats trying to remember how many 'o's there are in shooooes :) martin On Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 7:16 PM, Steve Klabnik <steve@steveklabnik.com> wrote: > Hey everyone- > > Yesterday, I was sitting around, and a thought popped into my head: we > still don't have a real domain for Shoes.

ah, that might be good.
In the interest of web-presence, you all should be aware that RailsBridge is pointing to Shoes as an active project dependency : http://teachingkids.railsbridge.org/2009/07/20/fifth-grade-shoes.html http://railsbridge.org Peter Fitzgibbons (847) 859-9550 Email: peter.fitzgibbons@gmail.com IM GTalk: peter.fitzgibbons IM AOL: peter.fitzgibbons@gmail.com On Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 2:47 PM, Steve Klabnik <steve@steveklabnik.com>wrote: > > Also, if you're looking for a good twitter name, @rubyshoes is free - > > ah, that might be good. >

Thanks Zach. And if anyone has any ideas of things that I should write
about, especially people like you and Peter who are newish, let me
know. I'd much rather thoroughly explain something there than not...
Also, the blog gives us a good place to put all of those archived
posts from the wiki...

Oh, I forgot: I also petitioned Freenode to give us control of #shoes. This would let us get ops on the channel, which would let us set the topic.
