I've got other movies up there too from all my presentations and demos.

ETA: I should add, not only is that releasing a new gem, it is also posting news to rubyforge, my blog, and the seattle.rb and ruby-talk mailing lists. I don't have to do anything afterwards.

ZenWeb is a set of classes/tools for organizing and formating a website. It is website oriented rather than webpage oriented, unlike most rendering tools. It is content oriented, rather than style oriented, unlike most rendering tools. It provides a plugin system of renderers and filters to provide a very flexible, and powerful system.

Documentation is available in the docs directory, and can be generated into html (in docshtml) simply by running make. See QuickStart and YourOwnWebsite for setup and starting to build a website.

(EXPERIMENTAL) If you are running apache, you might try 'make apache' which will run a private version of apache that points to the generated documenation. Point your browser to port 8080 of localhost or whatever machine you are running on.

Changes:

2.18.1 / 2009-06-23

• 1 minor enhancement:

  • Switched to minitest

• 1 bug fix:

  • HAHA! 1.9 fixes!

What is Hoe?

Hoe is a library that provides extensions to rake to automate every step of the development process from genesis to release. It provides project creation, configuration, and a multitude of tasks including project maintenance, testing, analysis, and release. We found rake to be an incredible vehicle for functionality in the abstract, but decidedly lacking in concrete functionality. We filled in all the blanks we could through a "hoe-spec":

require "hoe"
Hoe.spec "project_name" do
  developer "Ryan Davis", "ryand-ruby@zenspider.com"
  # ...
end

This hoe-spec specifies everything about your task that is different from the defaults and from that, creates a multitude of tasks and a gemspec used for packaging and release. When you update hoe, you update all your projects that use hoe. That's it. Nothing more is needed. Everything is DRY.
