I fear I let things pile up a bit last week. Time to clear out some of these open browser windows and hope that the news isn’t too stale.
- A ‘DHH Approved’ Logo? – There’s been a fair amount of discussion the last week over the fact that DHH wants to keep the Rails logo locked down as far as book cover usage goes. While I understand the trademark law argument, there’s some clash with open source principles here. And handing out a copy of the logo in every generated Rails app may have already fatally weakened the protection anyhow – though IANAL.
- Editing Multiple Models in One Form – I needed UI to edit all the records in a model on one web form in Rails; this proved to be easy to set up once I knew how, and hard to figure out. This tutorial pointed me in the right direction.
- Apache Lucene – Query Parser Syntax – Since Solr builds on Lucene, trying to figure out how to write queries for acts_as_solr will eventually lead to this page.
- redMine – Rails Based Open Source Project Management Application – Review of another competitor to Trac/BaseCamp/et al. Looks worth digging into.
- OpenID Sample Application Updated – Ben Curtis has revved his OpenID reference app for Rails.
- GeoKit – Rails plugin for geocoding. I’m gonna need this soon.
