Hey man --you haven't negotiated the rights for Internet distribution yet! I might have to go on strike, or something. On Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at 6:20 PM, Richard...
Good timing too - I've just started playing with the latest iteration of the Mercurial plugin for IDEA (now that its being compiled under 1.5 again). ...
I have been poking around in it for the last few days and need a small website built, and it addresses a few problems I have with RoR, so I was wondering if...
