What's the best way to keep up with what's going on with Rails 3? I've been reading your articles, and wycats', and I'm subscribed to rails-core. But when I tried to make an app yesterday, the most basic hello world app with one scaffolding didn't work. I posted to rails-talk yesterday, and nobody answered... any thoughts on this? I'd like to keep a little bit ahead of the curve, and possibly contribute if there's still low-hanging fruit...
EDIT: And it's not like I expect anything to work in a prerelease either. But I couldn't find anything directly on Lighthouse, but I don't know if that was because I was searching for the wrong terms, or if this is being worked on by someone, or any other number of things...
Hm that's unfortunate. For myself, I watch the list, the commits, and blogs to keep up. In general, there's not a whole lot of information available at this point outside the codebase and what myself and a few others have mined out of that.
I doubt many people on rails-talk know a whole lot about Rails 3; if you think you've found a bug, I'd suggest maybe posting on rails-core or in the Lighthouse.
This will check through some things (e.g., look for old style generators) and point out known busted plugins, but I plan on doing more thorough checks when the plugin API is stabilized so I know exactly what's going away.
