Userscripts.org SVN and Trac

As I said a bit ago I'm going to be focusing on improving userscript.org. It took a bit of time to get everything going, but with some help from some friends (Jeremy Dunck, Britt Selvitelle, and a new resource by Jeff Lindsay called DevjaVu) I think we are ready to rock and roll!

userscripts.org trunk

userscripts.devjavu.com is the url for Trac, and you can checkout svn using svn.devjavu.com/userscripts

"Trunk" is currently much improved from what is running - but it isn't ready for prime time yet! Britt has done a lot of heavy lifting to remove a bunch of cruft that had been there since we were learning rails, and removed a lot of the gratitus ajax. My goal is to get userscripts.org running on trunk by the end of the year (so help with development, creating tickets for issues, testing (or writing testing code), helping with the css, or ... any help is appreciated.

If you want to get started, be running the current rails (perhaps we should move to 1.2?

svn co http://svn.devjavu.com/userscripts

Update a few config files (database.yml and userscripts.yml)

cp userscripts.yml.template userscripts.yml
cp database.yml.template database.yml
# edit database.yml - I use:
development:
  adapter: sqlite3
  dbfile: db/dev.sqlite

Run migrations to build your database

rake migrate

Run the script/server and you should be able to browse!

I will be hanging out in #greasemonky on freenode tomorrow, creating tickets for what needs done and starting to work on it!
