I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle — victorious.

@tomdale as a complete Ember beginner, I would be happy to run through the getting started guide, follow it exactly and report any problems / issues I encounter?

[tomdale]

@jackfranklin That would be awesome. Thank you!

[jackfranklin]

@tomdale no prob! I'll get on it this evening and make myself available on IRC too. My nick on there is the same as here :)

[coderberry]

I should have the cookbooks ready for contribution within an hour or so

[izhan]

i'll be working on the TodoMVC updates with guidance from the friendly folks at Yapp!

[mavilein]

Where would you like to have additional JSBin examples in the guides? Are there some high priority items?

[tomdale]

@mavilein Nothing high priority in particular. Adding a JSBin or two to every page would probably be helpful, just illustrating some of the concepts the page discusses.

[jackfranklin]

As promised, posted up my feedback having gone through the entire getting started guide: #3251

[tomdale]

@jackfranklin This is really great, thank you.

[i0n]

I'll help! Ember data perhaps?

[mavilein]

@tomdale If i add some JSBins, where should i collect and post them? Directly as pull request on the website or collected in a separate Github issue?

[coderberry]

@mavilein Feel free to paste the jsbin list here and we can get them merged into the cookbook (if applicable)

[mavilein]

@cavneb I just had a look at your cookbook issue. I will try to work on some tomorrow :-)

[tomdale]

If you'd like to help us out with documentation, please check out @cavneb's separate GitHub issue tracking recipes in the cookbook: emberjs/website#663

[ralfschimmel]

I will test-drive the ember-data releases, need to update several applications with it and I will see where I can contribute doing so, is it useful to test-drive the jj-abrams branch already or should I wait for 0.14?

[sly7-7]

@tomdale What about the deprecated things remaining in the code ? When is it schedule to cleanup them ?

[rwjblue]

I am working on an updated latest build listing for builds.emberjs.com (using an Ember app to display files).

[sgentile]

probably OT but are there plans to have an updated ruby gem to help with integrating ember into the asset pipeline for all us ruby devs ?

[rockwood]

@tomdale can you check some boxes? We're looking for places to help!

[rockwood]

@sgentile ember-rails works perfectly

[rwjblue]

@sgentile - You mean other than https://github.com/emberjs/ember-rails? You can use ember-rails with RC8 now, and I'm sure it'll work for 1.0 final...

[sgentile]

great, thanks for the quick responses!

[markotom]

you know when ember-data will have its final release too?

[tomdale]

@markotom Hoping to have an alpha release this weekend.

[tchak]

Can this be discussed before 1.0 ? It seems to me like a severe regression : 48c6421#commitcomment-3982784

[tomdale]

Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!

I will be spending most of the morning recording the intro video.

@tchak Yes, I believe @kselden is looking into that regression/has fixed it.

I think the biggest thing that we can use help with right now is triaging the guides for idiomatic code.

[landongn]

Happy to help review the guides for anything that needs help- are pull requests the standard method for suggesting fixes?

[juarezpaf]

What an awesome community. Keep the good vibrations folks. B-)

[tomdale]

@landongn PRs are perfect!

[krisselden]

There is a couple more bugs I'd like to take care of

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

We did it, folks.
