[9:14] <oberhamsi> tried to make the GettingStarted more concise: http://gist.github.com/511086[9:14] <oberhamsi> i really like the Option 1 and Option 2 split, now we have a couple of paragraphs explaining both in one go..
[9:43] <hannesw> oberhamsi cool!
[9:43] <hannesw> looks much clearer and more complete now
[9:44] <oberhamsi> cool, if you're content i'll deploy to wiki .. we can still fix stuff there
[9:45] <hannesw> sure! (i haven't actually read it, but i trust you :)
[9:46] <hannesw> one thing: it seems a bit debian-centric, i.e. the debian options for java and ringo seem to assume most people will have debian systems, which is probably not the case
[9:53] <oberhamsi> hm, yes. can you try change it? i provide download links for java, ant ... hoping that if you glance and see "apt-get ant" it's clear what to do in general
[9:54] <oberhamsi> ... but okay, it looks a bit like "this only works in debian".. hm
[9:55] <oberhamsi> made the debian path stand out less
[9:58] <hannesw> it looks a bit like "we are debian/ubuntu fanbois"
[9:58] <hannesw> which may be true for me and you
[9:59] <hannesw> but you know :)
[10:03] <earl> giving a consistent story for one linux distro is definitely sufficient for the linux audience in general
[10:05] <earl> `apt-get install` really is some kind of wildcard for "install this package using your favourite package manager" these days :)
[10:06] <earl> and the getting looks great
[10:14] <oberhamsi> yeah, what earl says! but i toned the apt-get down by inlining them in the paragraphs
[16:28] <oberhamsi> imo clicking on "Docs" and only getting this pretty empty page which only says "master v0.5 v.04" makes us look bad...
[16:28] <oberhamsi> so i suggest we make the header link "Docs" link to this overview http://ringojs.org/wiki/Documentation/
[16:28] <oberhamsi> there's already quiet a lot of doc wiki pages around, i just collected them
[16:29] <daian> that is a good idea
[17:30] <hannesw> oberhamsi +1 API docs is just a small part of documentation
[17:39] <oberhamsi> hannesw, yep, would you change the link? i don't have access
[17:43] <hannesw> oberhamsi you do http://github.com/ringo/ringojs :)
[17:43] <hannesw> but i'll do it np
[17:50] <oberhamsi> right :) pull request
[17:52] <hannesw> oberhamsi the store api link is for implementors of storage backends... not the storable itself
[17:52] <hannesw> (although they're related)
[17:52] <hannesw> we need to get the store doc in order...
[17:52] <hannesw> but the documentation page is great!
[18:08] <hannesw> oberhamsi: done!
[18:08] <hannesw> hope you didn't start out doing it yet
[20:41] <oravecz> is there a way to negate an if clause? This wan't working for me...
[20:42] <oravecz> <% if <% not item.active %> render 'something' %>
[20:42] <oravecz> spoke too fast: <% if not <% item.active %> render 'something' %>
[20:45] <earl> yep :)
[21:22] <gedw99> hey all. i was just reading about the Transporters feature of common JS and was wondering if its known somewhere which modules are "transportabl2 =
[21:22] <gedw99> simon just mentioned it on the ringojs google group.
[21:25] <gedw99> ok no ones knows i guess...
