Rails Logo Tussels

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Rethink: Beginning Rails: From Novice to Professional: But where does this leave individual developers/firms/companies who’ve used the logo to promote Rails services or Rails-based products?

Sakai Permalinks

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Had a request today for how to get permalinks in Sakai. Since most of the portal generated URLs (at least down to the tool level) are already permalinks, answering the request was easy — but I wonder if this indicates that we need a Google Maps style permalink icon in the UI somewhere.
