The current
robotlegs.org is poorly set up for any dynamic content. It is a
static github page. I've been exploring other solutions. Frankly
I'd like to emulate what Ruby on Rails has done with their
site:</p>
<p><a href=
"http://rubyonrails.org/">http://rubyonrails.org/</a></p>
<p>Clean, informative, and generally excellent with a lot of
parallels to what robotlegs is trying to accomplish (albiet in an
entirely different space).</p></div>Joel Hookstag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/13270022010-03-28T15:02:14Z2010-03-28T15:02:14ZRobotLegs Plugin / Component 'Repository'<div><p>Thanks for replying Joel,</p>
<p>If I wanted to start hammering out some code for such a project,
what lang should I be working in? PHP, Python?</p></div>Jonny Reevestag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/13270022010-03-28T15:05:40Z2010-03-28T15:05:40ZRobotLegs Plugin / Component 'Repository'<div><p>Would you be down for RoR? Certainly not PHP. I have
Python/Django in my toolkit, but I'd like to explore Rails ;)</p></div>Joel Hookstag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/13270022010-03-28T15:08:31Z2010-03-28T15:08:31ZRobotLegs Plugin / Component 'Repository'<div><p>I'm also looking to rebuild the entire site, adding in dynamic
content like you've described.</p></div>Joel Hookstag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/13270022010-03-28T15:25:26Z2010-03-28T15:25:26ZRobotLegs Plugin / Component 'Repository'<div><p>RoR? I've not used it before, but sure :)</p>
<p>So I guess the first step would be to mirror the existing site
in RoR and look to getting that hosted. Does the current
RobotLegs.org site have hosting for RoR apps?</p></div>Jonny Reevestag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/13270022010-03-28T15:47:40Z2010-03-28T15:47:40ZRobotLegs Plugin / Component 'Repository'<div><p>Hosting won't be an issue, plenty of that floating around.</p>

<p>Design is a real concern that I have. The current design makes a
decent base, but is extremely deficient in a lot of areas (namely
navigation)</p></div>Joel Hookstag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/13270022010-03-28T16:01:56Z2010-03-28T16:01:56ZRobotLegs Plugin / Component 'Repository'<div><p>Sounds like this thread could be a good discussion area for
those who want<br>
to get involved. We should probably make a list of websites /
project<br>
homepages to use as inspiration, critiqueing what we like, and
dislike about<br>
each?</p></div>John Reevestag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/13270022010-03-28T16:25:34Z2010-03-28T16:25:35ZRobotLegs Plugin / Component 'Repository'<div><p>I am down for helping out where ever, design, layout, etc. I
have 0 experience with RoR, but willing/wanting to learn.</p></div>Brian Connatser
