Mirror of _why's projects

Don't use the Camping over there, it's an old version. If you want the newest version clone judofyr/camping, or grab the gem from my gem server (gems.judofyr.net). Camping is very much alive, we,ll just have to clean up the documentation a bit and then we'll release 2.0 (I have access to the RubyForge project).

If anyone wants to help out, just join the mailing list at RubyForge.

I'm glad we have the code; fortunately most of it was in git. (Wasn't it Torvalds who claimed his method of backup was to release his code and let other people mirror it for free?)

But... do we have the writing?

If this is an elaborate practical joke designed to make me really glad that I own a dead-trees version of Nobody Knows Shoes and that I physically printed out a copy of the Poignant Guide... it's working really well.

Also, this isn't the kind of press I'd like to see for github... but, man, is this a clear demonstration of why DVCS rocks.

Does anyone have a copy of the code for Try Ruby? It was at http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/tryruby/trunk

I love all this _why stuff on the front page (no sarcasm)! Thank you HN!

_why was a truly prolific member of the Ruby community. Assuming he's actually 'gone', he'll be missed and his work appreciated for a long time to come.

Does anyone have a copy of the Shoes dependencies tarball for OS X?

deps-osx-intel-1.6.4-1.20.2.tar.gz

Interesting; even though all repositories have been wiped from _why's Github accounts, the hpricot wiki is still alive: http://wiki.github.com/why/hpricot I hope it stays that way, I wouldn't be able to figure out how to use it just by looking at the method definitions.

A testament to the #ruby community: http://bit.ly/whymir

In 2 days _why's projects all recovered and 15/23 have new maintainers. Ongoing progress will be posted at http://whymirror.github.com/
