Francis Hwang had the bright idea, and it really cool to see all the faces
I've been talking to virtually.

If you're going to RubyConf, and you haven't yet checked out and posted to
RubyConf2005Facebook:

http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyConf2005Facebook

then please do.

Thanks,
Curt

And what about RubyFaces in general? I won't go to RubyConf, so I'm
not allowed to post my picture there.

The whole idea is to help those going to RubyConf recognize each other. I
think that goal would be diluted if there was too much extraneous stuff.

You bring up a good point, though... There should be something like this fo=
r
everyone. Maybe you could set up a spot Flickr for Ruby folks to post there
pictures.

What's up with your picture... so far I've seen three different pics of you

According to his blog, he's got a ruby script rotating the picture on every
reload. Just the same, it gave me a bit of a start for a moment. I noticed
it change to a different image once, then edited the wiki and saw it go bac=

to the original picture. I checked the revisions and there was only mine, s=
o
I thought for a moment I had accidentally reverted the page to a previous
version somehow!

It didn't occur to me immediately that he could have changed the file on hi=
s
server without editing the wiki.

Thanks a lot James!! :)

Oh, my pleasure. :)

I should probably have it rotate copies of the same image, but with very
small differences: glasses/no glasses; fake mustache/no mustache;
eyebrows/no eyebrows; and so on.

Or you could really confuse us by rotating pictures of completely different
people. :)

Well, I originally asked Francis if one needed to put up a real picture.

Of course, that sort of hinders the point of the page.

But, if general mayhem is the goal, ....

Can anybody tell me how I can make links to anchors using RubyGarden's
syntax? I'm trying to tidy the page by creating a list of all the names
at the top, but RubyGarden's wiki syntax is stymieing my efforts.

Never mind, dblack helped me figure it out. Social software crisis
averted. Now there's a nice little index up top. Sorry about the
double-page-request, though, I don't think I can do anything about that
with the RG wiki syntax working the way it does.

Auto-TOC [1]:

(I've no preference between the two)

Ah, that's nice, thanks for making that example. I'll switch it to that
when I have a minute, that way it's harder for the TOC to fall out of
sync as new entries are added.

1. You can't make a wiki link on RubyGarden that points locally to an
anchor. You can only point globally to the URI with the anchor, so you
end up re-loading the page.

2. All external links go through Google, which I guess was an anti-spam
measure, since such links are not counted in Google's index. I think
now this could be accomplished with rel=nofollow.

Anyway, it's moot once I have the time to set up the auto-TOC.

Thanks for that clarification, Francis.

I jumped in and did it. Hope that's OK.

(Now, index entry and #anchor are automatic.)

Keep those pictures coming, folks; very enlightening.

Flickr requires some sort of a signup, does it not? Could just create
another
page on RubyGarden. RubyFaces or something, I suppose.

Well, anyone can create a wiki personal page, add an image link, and
add, someplace on the page, CategoryRubyFaces. Then one can find all
such face pages by searching on CategoryRubyFaces.

See http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?JamesBritt

as an example.

(Joy of joys (no sarcasm) the News gateway seems busted as I do not
have this message, so I'm replying one down.)

I've already camped out a Ruby group on flickr:

A Flickr account is free but requires a signup.

Q: What is the advantage to having a Ruby group on flickr, as opposed to
folks simply tagging their RubyConf05 pix as RubyConf05?

a) Discussion boards.
b) The 'Ruby' group is not limited to just RubyConf.
