I know there are some messy wikis around, but it's a way for the community to contribute, and if it's structured properly from the start it could be quite usable and helpful. Just my two cents...</p> As far as the documentation goes: Any reason why you have not integrated a wiki into your website?

This really is the best development experience ever, even with lack of documentation, so thank you for that.

Hobo is a really good tool with the potential to dramatically improve productivity. The lack of doc has detracted from that potential as you know. The only other thing that is slowing me down is development system performance. Since my Hobo project has grown a bit big (50 models), my system has slowed down to the point where it is a real hindrance. Any work (or suggestions) in that area would be really welcome. Production performance is fine btw.</p> <p>Micah: I had a look at HAML a while back and didn't find it functionally comparable to DRYML. I must say though, that the YAML-style syntax of HAML is more appealing to me than the XML-style syntax of DRYML. As somebody suggested in this forum some time ago, the combination of HAML syntax and DRYML functionality/extensibility would be killer!</p> <p>Thanks for Hobo!</p> <p>Keith</p> It’s great to hear that you guys are focussing on the right stuff(imho).

I've been following the trac (which has been down last few days), and are eagerly awaiting it's release and new plugins. You guys are really on to something, and I'm sure it will really shake up the Rails and Dynamic Web community.</p> <p>@Martin - Dive right in!

I look forward to diving in in a big way once things stabilize and are more thoroughly documented.</p> <p>Although I suspect most people will end up wanting to use all of Hobo, breaking it up makes it much more approachable: you don't have to make a huge commitment up front to making your project completely revolve around Hobo and to doing everything the Hobo way. You can start using Hobo with the knowledge that you can drop parts of it and lose so much of your work.</p> This is great news… I look forward to diving in in a big way once things stabilize and are more thoroughly documented.
