Austin King

Hi,
I am releasing my first Ruby project. It is a script I use to post news
daily to my weblog.
This is an early release, has problems on windows, and may crash :) that
being said I use it
every day for updating http://www.ozte...

From the README

Diaria is an tool for posting news items to the web.
This activity is also known as blogging for the buzz word compliant.
Diaria is a command line program that creates a simple weblog page,
archive pages, and a (rss) news feed.
It is written in Ruby and uses Yaml to store it's data.
This program is run from your local computer and doesn't require any special web hosting.
Diaria will create your "blog" site and you can copy these files over to your web host.

"Tienen peleas diarias" => They have arguments every day

Please download and install 0.1.1 from
http://rubyforge.org/projec...

thanks to ruby forge for hosting this project

I''m interested in this, but I confess I find it hard to motivate
myself to download something, unzip it, and poke around around
for the docs, just to find out how it works.

That''s not an attack on you or anyone else, nor a slur on anyone''s
project. But I like it when the docs are online. That way I can
painlessly look at something and say, "Well, I need these six
features; it''s only got five of those"; etc.

I urge you (and everybody) to consider putting the docs on the
web.

By the way, the name is hilarious. I realize it comes from "diary"
(cf. Latin dia "day", Spanish "dias", etc.).

I assume it''s pronounced "diarrhea"? :) When I first saw it, I
thought it might be an actual error by a non-English speaker. Then
I decided it must be tongue-in-cheek. After all, many blogs I''ve
seen are reminiscent of "verbal diarrhea."

For non-English speakers here: "Diarrhea" is a mild illness that
is both unpleasant and inconvenient. Enough said.


Cheers,
Hal

Thanks for the feedback Hal,
In the spirit of release early and release often, I spent time putting
together a package, but no website. The functionality is really limited
and I was hoping to attract users that are prepared for that. As Diaria
matures I will defiantly add a website with a manual and tutorial.

BTW, you perfectly captured my intensions with the name of the project.
I know I have logorrhea now and then.

Go host it on rubyforge.com and they''ll give you a web site and host all
your files. Just author up a quickie HTML page and upload it to the
account they give you. It''s a great service.

Good advice, but he already followed it. :)
