rubyonrails.fi
Posted by #
A few months ago I registered rubyonrails.fi to get wider adoption for Ruby and Rails in Finland, but haven’t really so far got it off the ground. The idea of the site in my mind would not be to duplicate stuff in rubyonrails.org but to bring together the Finnish Rubyists and build a real community for them. The interest in Rails and Ruby is growing rapidly in Finland and I feel lacking a central spot for that interest is slowing down the adoption.
The initial features I’d like to have on the site would be the pretty traditional blog, mailing list/forum and a wiki. I set up a Basecamp project for the site, so if you’d like to get involved, drop me a mail and I’ll setup a user account for you. I hope a few active contributors would help to get my head out of my procrastinating ass.
Looking forward to helping you build that.
Sounds great! I’m trying to do the same thing for the same reasons across the (northerly) border here in Norway.. I think these efforts are signs that Ruby and Rails are really gaining some momentum now, and that’s a very good thing.
Here, we have rails.no (mine) and rubyonrails.no (run by Stian Hole), but we have realised we should join forces somehow, and we’re planning just how that will materialise..
Procrastination is a big “problem” for me too, so I’m doing a very “open” kind of development, hoping that others will give me a gentle kick from behind when progress stalls :)
