Keith laying out our elements

Well, we’re just past the 14 hour mark since the Rails Rumble opened, and we’re making great progress. Keith Medlin and I have resurrected the “Red Key” brand to bring our revolutionary vision to life: Docustackr, a web-based document revision system.

The bulk of my time so far has been spent setting up our deployment environment, having done this recently for Alloy Code and Your Garage Online, I was able to speed through most of it. We’re using Mongrel, Capistrano and Nginx on Ubuntu 7.04 (breaking from the Debian herd) and have our stack already in place. We won’t be struggling to deploy at the last minute!

Keith has been focusing on our design and interface while I’ve been putting the models in place to support the site. We’ve snapped a few photos for posterity.

Keep watching for previews of our design and code process!
