[00:41] <hannesw> Just deployed new static (non-wiki) site: http://ringojs.org/
[00:41] <hannesw> Let me know how you like it!
[00:43] <hannesw> wiki is now an actual wiki instead of a pseudo home page
[00:57] <earl> looks good!
[00:58] <earl> maybe make the download url and the navigation label consistent
[00:58] <earl> i.e. either /download and Download, or /downloads and Downloads
[00:59] <earl> i'd also think about merging dropping the "Screencasts" sidebar entry and adding a link from docs to screencasts instead
[00:59] <earl> ah! and the new wiki start page is lovely as well
[00:59] <earl> congrats, looks great
[01:13] <hannesw> earl thanks
[01:14] <hannesw> yes, there's lots of things to tweak
[01:22] <earl> do you mind if i change the /download url to /downloads?
[01:25] <hannesw> earl: fine with me
[01:26] <hannesw> I also planned to have a static "contributing" page
[01:27] <hannesw> but that became victim of writers block
[01:28] <earl> :)
[01:31] <earl> now that the infrastructure is in place, that's only a matter of time
[01:31] <earl> eventually, someone will overcome their writer's block :)
[09:34] <hannesw> So what do you think about the new home page?
[09:43] <oberhamsi> wiki front looks very good /wiki/
[09:53] <hannesw> home page structure is inspired by (ok, stolen from) http://www.playframework.org/
[09:53] <hannesw> I hope that's not too blatant :)
[11:08] <oberhamsi> hannesw, maybe copy it even harder :) a pic or video on front would be cool
[11:09] <hannesw> oberhamsi: I'm planning to also do a screencast, and put it right up there :)
[11:09] <oberhamsi> it doesn't feel like a frontpage right now
[11:09] <oberhamsi> ah okay even better
[11:09] <hannesw> really? i think it's reduced, but i like it
[11:10] <hannesw> I've written an little twitter search module, could put it up there as well
[11:10] <oberhamsi> reduced +1... currently doesn't jump in your face.. video will be good
[11:10] <oberhamsi> what does the search module do?
[11:11] <oberhamsi> oh "last tweets with #ringojs" i guess
[11:11] <hannesw> search twitter for "ringojs", right
[11:27] <hannesw> Started a new page: http://ringojs.org/wiki/Webapp_redesign/
[11:27] <hannesw> I want to have a solig spec for the webapp framework
[15:56] <daian> anyone know if it's possible to get the html that's returned from a skinResponse call?
[15:57] <daian> it looks like i'm getting a response object back, and it'd be useful to get just the body from that
[16:02] <daian> nevermind, it seems like it's easier to just use the skin's render function instead
[20:24] <tnlogy> is there any convenient way to convert a Java object to a javascript object? Trying the cometd server again, which gives java arrays as data when subscribing for messages. I think, a bit tired :)
[22:34] <hannesw> daian: I think the response body should be in res.body, given that it's a JSGI response
[22:39] <daian> well, trying to do skinResponse(skin, context).body didn't seem to work. comes back as undefined
[22:39] <daian> in all truth, i didn't want the full response, just the result of the skin rendering
[22:46] <hannesw> daian, i guess you're using an older version of ringo
[22:46] <hannesw> the newer one has Response.skin() instead of skinresponse()
[22:46] <daian> yeah, 0.5
[22:46] <hannesw> ok, then you have to call close() to get the JSGI object
[22:46] <hannesw> JSGI response, that is
[22:47] <daian> ahhhh, ok
[22:48] <daian> that explains it. i'll probably just keep using the regular skin render function. might not even end up using it in the end, anyway.
[22:48] <daian> thanks for the help
