emate is our new content management system at aTech Media. We have been developing it for a little while and are pleased to finally release a sneak preview.

This short (5 minute) quicktime movie shows some of the features and workflow for using the application. We have also included some glimpses of a demo site which is powered by emate.

Take a look at the video here and let us know what you think…

This evening marks the launch Rails Work – a Ruby on Rails job board application developed by the Railsify Project.

What’s the Railsify Project?

Since the launch of Railsify (my Rails Plugins directory) a couple of weeks ago, a few things have been happening – together with Josh Catone and Vinnie Garcia we have created the ‘Railsify Project’ which will be the “network” behind Rails Forum, Rails Work and Railsify (the plugin directory) as well quite a few other exciting internet properties which we will be developing in the next few months.

What does this mean for me?

It just means I will be involved with developing the new sites we deploy through the Railsify Project. I have just developed the Rails Work site, took about 2 days although all the design work was already done and copied from Railsify so it was a quite a relaxing app to build.

What’s coming in the next few weeks?

Now our plugin directory and job board are up and running we are going to be looking at developing a shared authentication system to use on all Railsify network sites. Also, we have a number of new features to add to both Railsify and Rails Work so keep an eye out for them. We’re also going to be re-styling Rails Forum but don’t expect anything quick on that as we are still (with the rorBB team) working on developing the new forum software.
