Can anybody tell me how I can make links to anchors using RubyGarden's
syntax? I'm trying to tidy the page by creating a list of all the names
at the top, but RubyGarden's wiki syntax is stymieing my efforts.
The whole idea is to help those going to RubyConf recognize each other. I
think that goal would be diluted if there was too much extraneous stuff.
You bring up a good point, though... There should be something like this for
everyone. Maybe you could set up a spot Flickr for Ruby folks to post there
pictures.

And what about RubyFaces in general? I won't go to RubyConf, so I'm
not allowed to post my picture there.
According to his blog, he's got a ruby script rotating the picture on every
reload. Just the same, it gave me a bit of a start for a moment. I noticed
it change to a different image once, then edited the wiki and saw it go back
to the original picture. I checked the revisions and there was only mine, so
I thought for a moment I had accidentally reverted the page to a previous
version somehow!
It didn't occur to me immediately that he could have changed the file on his
server without editing the wiki.
Thanks a lot James!!

Never mind, dblack helped me figure it out. Social software crisis
averted. Now there's a nice little index up top. Sorry about the
double-page-request, though, I don't think I can do anything about that
with the RG wiki syntax working the way it does.

Oh, my pleasure.
I should probably have it rotate copies of the same image, but with very small differences: glasses/no glasses; fake mustache/no mustache; eyebrows/no eyebrows; and so on.

Auto-TOC [1]:

Flickr requires some sort of a signup, does it not? Could just create
another
page on RubyGarden. RubyFaces or something, I suppose.

Ah, that's nice, thanks for making that example. I'll switch it to that
when I have a minute, that way it's harder for the TOC to fall out of
sync as new entries are added.

1. You can't make a wiki link on RubyGarden that points locally to an
anchor. You can only point globally to the URI with the anchor, so you
end up re-loading the page.
2. All external links go through Google, which I guess was an anti-spam
measure, since such links are not counted in Google's index. I think
now this could be accomplished with rel=nofollow.
Anyway, it's moot once I have the time to set up the auto-TOC.
And what about RubyFaces in general? I won't go to RubyConf, so I'm

Well, anyone can create a wiki personal page, add an image link, and add, someplace on the page, CategoryRubyFaces. Then one can find all such face pages by searching on CategoryRubyFaces.

I've already camped out a Ruby group on flickr:

Well, I originally asked Francis if one needed to put up a real picture.
Of course, that sort of hinders the point of the page.

Thanks for that clarification, Francis.

I jumped in and did it. Hope that's OK.
(Now, index entry and #anchor are automatic.)
Keep those pictures coming, folks; very enlightening.
