SimpleConfig on GitHub
Posted by lukeredpath on July 3rd, 2008
For all you Git fanatics out there, I’ve just pushed a copy of the SimpleConfig plugin to GitHub, where you can fork and contribute to your hearts content.
The official repository will always be the public Subversion mirror (once we’ve got it up and running!) and my git fork may contain experimental features or enhancements that haven’t made it into production use but it gives you the chance to hack away.
Welcome to Reevoo Labs

Welcome to the re-launch of labs.reevoo.com, a place where we (the team at Reevoo) try our best to contribute a little something back to the community.
To kick things off, we’ve brought across some of our existing projects from the previous labs site, but also added a few new things that we felt were ready for prime-time:
- Mocha – the Ruby mocking/stubbing library based on JMock syntax, used by Rails core
- NEW! – Beanstalk Messaging plugin – a Rails plugin for managing, polling and communicating with the excellent Beanstalkd messaging queue
- NEW! – Simple Config – a Rails plugin that makes it easy to set up application-wide configuration/settings for each of your development environments, separate to Rails’ own environment files, and provides an object-oriented way of accessing those settings throughout your application.
- NEW! – Exception Messaging plugin – This plugin builds upon the Beanstalk Messaging plugin and allows you to forward your application exceptions to a beanstalkd queue for offline processing.
Please watch this space as we have a few more things on their way “very soon”TM that were nearly ready for labs. A couple of them are a bit more Rails-infrastructure related than the current set of projects we’ve pushed live today.
