For those of you who took the RailsBridge workshop pre-conference, or want to take the tutorial on your own [1], I have pushed the code we completed up to the code4lib github account [2] so we can improve upon it together. Some of you have asked about next steps. In addition to the great "next-steps" links at the end of the tutorial, this is a great opportunity to take your Rails experience a few steps further, while learning how to collaborate remotely in a friendly, helpful environment. If you haven't had the opportunity before, coding with others can be really motivating, productive, and educational. Plus, there are lots of cool directions this little app could go, such as a vote-to-promote message board, next-gen diebold-o-tron, or wherever our imaginations take us. If you're interested, the first step is to get a GitHub account and "Watch" this repository so you can be privy to any activity on it. Even if you don't add any code, it's worth seeing the type of process and negotiation that goes into code collaboration. I will soon add some simple instructions for how to get up and going. Bess mentioned that there is a RailsBridge curriculum around git/github in the works? I would love to learn more about this and see if it could be applicable here. I would also encourage any RoR pros to "watch" and help out in a "group mentorship" kind of way as the number of helpers we had at the pre-conf was instrumental in making the RailsBridge workshop a success.
