Ugh. The length of that article (and the reliance on Disqus for comments) is why I'm still using WordPress. I'd use a hosted service, but I haven't found one that can properly import my posts and comments. Is there such a thing? I know Post

I've helped a number of people "get started with Rails" over the years, and I've had to help every single one of them get their environment set up properly. I think there's tremendous value in this kind of site. If someone comes up to you a

Awesome. I don't see any way for me to get a tweet/email/something to let me know when new stuff is added. That kind of thing would be nice, because I'm sure I won't remember to go back to the site.

I'd suggest doing open-source work, blogging, and presenting at meet-ups. Sharing your knowledge with other people is a great way to make friendly connections.
