Paolo has just released a brand new widget. He has taken the Tobias Lukte’s super-simple-css-bars and has wrapped it in an helper following the rails-widgets way. You can take a look at the result here.
Besides the new widget, we’ve officially moved the rails-widgets project to Github. We’ve chosen Paolo’s Github account, given that he’s the real father of the project:
http://github.com/paolodona/rails-widgets
This change is due to the easy to use collaboration features provided by Github and… honestly, to a strange disappearance of the rails-widgets google group, which made us doubt a bit about it. Anyway our purpose is to involve as many people as possible to improve the project. So feel free to contribute, you just need to have a github account. Even a small comment or a snippet of code are more than welcome!

From now on you can download and install the Rails Widgets Plugin from its Google Code Project.
To install use: script/plugin install http://rails-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/widgets
That’s the stable tag which will be constantly updated. If you feel brave you can also install it from the trunk: script/plugin install http://rails-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/trunk or help us improve it.

The Rails Widgets plugin is our most successful open-source effort so far. Lately its development has been put a bit aside and hasn’t got the love it surely deserve. This is mainly because this little piece of software is pretty stable and just suits our needs.
But of course it could be improved, more widgets could be added and the code could be refactored. Why should our own needs stop its development? There are many people on the Widgets Users Mailing List who come up with great ideas about its development so we finally decided to open up the repo and let this plugin find its way through the community!
The repo is now officially hosted on Google Code at http://code.google.com/p/rails-widgets and a brand new Developers Mailing List has been set up to coordinate the development efforts.
We’re willing to find new committers who share our vision about the plugin and help us take it to the next level, so if you’re interested, feel free to join us!
Hope you enjoy it!

After examining the poll results at www.railsworkshop.it, it was pretty clear that the workshop location wouldn’t be that far from our office this time…
A lot of people voted for Padova or Brescia, and a timely coincidence made possible to have a gorgeous conference room at Quadrante Servizi in Verona, right in the middle of those two most voted locations, not that far from both of them.
So everything is set up. Next RailsWorkshop will be held in via Sommacampagna, 61 on Wednesday, March 12 for your and our pleasure.
Expect it to be a great event! The workshop has been upgraded to cover all the new stuff introduced with Rails 2.0, and will be exciting like never before! You’ll find all the informations you need at www.railsworkshop.it, or just feel free to drop us an email. See you there then :-)

We’re planning our next RailsWorkshop, and we need you!
Where would you like it to be? What’s your most comfortable location? We set up a poll so you can express your preference.
Thanks for your vote!
