…because, it is growing into a general home for Hobo documentation.
You may have noticed we have a nice new look thanks to James. You may also notice an innocuous looking link in the top right — “Taglibs”. Yep – we now have a nice online reference to the tag libraries. Before you get too excited, many of the tags don’t have proper documentation yet. If you look here you’ll see that many of the tags are in a light grey – those ones don’t have a doc-comment in the source code yet. We’re working our way through them.
At the moment tag names don’t come up in the search, but on that same page you can use your browsers search-in-page, because every tag is listed.
The great thing about having a single home for both the recipes and the reference docs is that we can add all sorts of cool cross linking. Every tag in the reference section could link to “Recipes that show this tag in use”, and recipes could have the tags clickable so you can go right to the reference material for that tag.And of course everything is user-commentable.
Later we’re also going to add “Tutorials” and “Hobo Manual” sections. It will be a one-stop-shop for all your Hobo Documentation needs *smile with tooth-bling*.

Every now and then I find myself in the situation where I need to create a new app from scratch. It’s then that I get to sample the full Hobo experience. And I have to say — wow. Seriously. WOW.
Top priority right now with Hobo is to churn out as much documentation in as short a time as humanly possible. We felt we needed a home for all these docs – a simple app that supports user-comments, requests for documentation, searching etc. Sounds like a distraction from actually writing the docs? : ) Well… what if it only took a day? How much of an app could you turn out in a single day?
Quite a lot, it turns out.

I’ve just released Hobo 0.8.3. Various bug fixes, plus a few nice new features, including much better support for multi-model forms. See the changes for the details.Please remember that Rubyforge takes a good while to get with the program, so gem update hobo might not work for a while. You can download the gem files from Rubyforge manually though.Enjoy!
