Guides Hackfest
Posted by pratik September 04, 2008 @ 03:16 PM
I’m pleased to finally announce the Rails Guides Hackfests. And we got really exciting prizes too! There is a list of guides available at Lighthouse You can select one of those, update the ticket and start writing the guide straight away.
For each completed guide, the author will receive all of the following prizes :
- $200 from Caboose Rails Documentation Project
- 1 year of GitHub Micro account
- 1 year of RPM Basic (Production performance management) for up to 10 hosts
You can find more details at http://hackfest.rubyonrails.org/guide
Special thanks to GitHub, Newrelic & Caboose documentation project for making the hackfest a lot more exciting!
What a great initiative – good work by the organizers!
If I had known I could get prizes, I would have waited a few months to write that plugin guide :)
I’m psyched to see it finally take off. Jeremy McAnally was active in getting this started at RailsConf 08, although I didn’t see him mentioned on the guides page.
Autogenerated HTML output is available at http://railsguides.phusion.nl/ Automatically updated every hour.
A really good work and fantastic prizes.
