Expresto¶ ↑

This is the source code for the Expresto project: www.expresto.net Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Project desciption¶ ↑

Each language and each culture has wonderful, strange and funny idiomatic expressions, and each day people create new ones with their creativity or by accident. Expresto aims to provide a place to share them, and build a community of sharing and discovery.

Expresto is my side-project, my preferred way to become better at ruby & rails during my free time.

Though the project has been in a dormant state during a few months, I’m finding ways to to put at least a few hours per weeks into it, maybe not a lot but with with regularity.

This also means that your contributions and help are warmly welcome.

Contributing¶ ↑

Feel free to fork Expresto, make your changes, and send me a pull request.

If you are limited on time, I prefer you to write specs or cucumber scenarios describing the new feature or the improvement, instead of sending me the actual implementation without tests.

Feel free to take a look at the [www.pivotaltracker.com/s/projects/777205](project in Pivotal Tracker) to find stuff to do, or ask me by mail / skype.
