Motivation

Writing apps today almost always starts with a framework. Systems such as Ruby on Rails, Django, etc are leading the pack in developing best of breed web frameworks for advanced web apps.

Attempts to copy this style of framework in PHP has largely failed. Systems such as CodeIgniter are buggy and more limited than their counterparts in other languages despite PHP having a much bigger community.

Purpose

Restores the generation of non-digest assets from Rails 3. This is essential for when those assets must be referenced outside of Rails. Maybe some of your app in in another language, or maybe some of your JavaScript is dynamically and conditionally loaded.

Usage

Compile your assets with the regular task:

# Mass monkey-patching! Provides integration between Chronic, Ruby and
# Rails. So now these all work:
#
#     Date.parse "next summer"
#     DateTime.parse "in 3 hours"
#     Time.parse "3 months ago saturday at 5:00 pm"
#
# In addition we override String#to_date, String#to_datetime, String#to_time.

A few quick guidelines on my conventions when using Trello. These are not rules. Trello doesn't enforce a structure allowing each project to adapt to it's needs. But this is a good place to start:

Lists

• Unquoted - Any card being added to the project which is not in the statement of work and not a bug related to work covered by the statement of work goes here. The goal of this list is to avoid scope creep. If scope is being added we want it to be an explicit decision with an explicit cost estimation. The person creating the card should try to estimate the cost (or get someone to do so for them). The client can then choose to move it to the Todo list if they want to increase the scope. If they choose to hold off for now this list provides an excellent idea source for future rounds of development.
• Todo - These are tasks that need to be done which are not in active development.
• In Progress - These are tasks that are actively being worked on by a developer. If you are not actively w
