Beboist — Updates and Attention

Our friends at “Bebo”:http://www.bebo.com have selected our “Beboist plugin”:http://www.intridea.com/2008/1/11/beboist-a-rails-plugin-for-the-bebo-social-api to be one of their “featured Bebo Social API libraries”:http://developer.bebo.com/blog/index.php/2008/04/03/introducing-a-ruby-api-for-bebo/.

This joyous occasion can only be properly acknowledged by the announcement that Beboist has now been moved to “Github”:http://www.github.org, a “Git”:http://git.or.cz/ repository host where the “cool kids”:http://blog.rubyonrails.org/2008/4/2/rails-is-moving-from-svn-to-git play nowadays. We feel that Github’s convenient fork-edit-push code publishing mechanism will only help Beboist grow even quicker to become a prominent solution for working with the Bebo API.

The “old SVN repository”:http://svn.intridea.com/svn/public/beboist/trunk will still remain up, but all future development will take place on Github.

So, without further ado — here’s the Beboist Github repository:

http://github.com/skyfallsin/beboist/tree/master

You will install this plugin from your RAILS_ROOT directory as such:

git clone git://github.com/skyfallsin/beboist.git vendor/plugins/beboist

Intridea’s “Public Trac”:http://trac.intridea.com/trac/public is still up for bug reports.
