New Rails resource - PluginAWeek.org

Hello fellow Railers,

I'm proud to introduce a new Rails resource that was released today: PluginAWeek.org (http://www.pluginaweek.org). This is a website myself and a co-worker are currently building. Our focus is primarily on plugins, although we will post articles on other Rails-related topics that we've encountered. Over the next few months, we will be releasing 70+ new plugins (25,000+ LOC) that will cover all bases from ActionPack and ActiveRecord extensions to core Ruby and Rails extensions.

All of these plugins have come out of a commercial Rails product we have been developing over the last 5 months. There are also development and documentation resources accompanying PluginAWeek: * Wiki - http://wiki.pluginaweek.org * Trac - http://dev.pluginaweek.org * SVN repository - http://svn.pluginaweek.org * Mailing lists - http://groups.google.com/group/pluginaweek-core and http://groups.google.com/group/pluginaweek-talk

As we publicly announce each new plugin, it will become available on each of the above resources as well.

We will eventually be opening the project for other plugin developers to announce and manage their own plugins (if, for example, they don't want to host it on their own server). We're simply hoping that our work will help at least 1 person :slight_smile:

Let us know what you think! Thanks!

Cool :slight_smile:

Will you also be posting the plugin announcements here?

I just hate having to search multiple places to find all the neat goodies :slight_smile:

It'd be great to know the list of plugins you're going to release and may be also a lil bit abt what they do :slight_smile:

Thanks, Pratik

Good idea. We'll also post the plugins at http://www.agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins and Peak Obsession.

Ah, but that would spoil the anticipation! :slight_smile: It's an ongoing project (always refactoring, adding documentation, etc.) and we're going to release the plugins as quickly as we can. We'll be giving some hints along the way, so sit tight for now.
