I always liked this compact linear calendar format for planning and estimating. I use it often, with weeks on the left, and my list of tasks on the right.
I picked the current Turtle syntax because it seemed like the least line noise, and hopefully easy for contributors to understand. I would like to learn more about RDF. I don’t know if it was the right choice for this project to be honest though, I might end up switching to JSON.
Many MIDI instruments, effects, and modules released recently transmit MIDI over TRS or TS minijack cables. But, the specs they use vary, and are not always documented.
The more I tried to learn about TRS MIDI, the more confused I got, so I started taking notes with the intent to explain it to others as a reference guide.

It's easy to assume only languages with Class and Object abstractions are "object-oriented", but the "orientation" is really more about your mental model of the system as differentiated objects that communicate via messages.
The original Eliss was the first iPhone game I installed. The use of multi-touch was really inspiring - it really took advantage of multi-touch and did so in a creative way, very early on.
Many, many implementations, and each goes about it differently. There's unfortunately no widely adopted standard for constructing a URL to request a resized/altered image.
It would be great to see traction on something like this RESTful Image API Specification:
While researching ways to parse the Web Archive HTML format it outputs, and was surprised to find Apple makes the entire source code for TextEdit available to any developer. Nice!
I like what you did here. It's common for new developers to rely heavily on complicated Lightbox scripts, because it seems daunting to implement one on their own.
Your script would be good for a beginner to review. It covers the 80% case.
You don't say anything about mobile support or browser support, a note on that might be helpful to add.
I've got to say though, the underscores (while more readable) are not the "house style" for JavaScript (at least, not the native functions of the language), where everyThingIsCamelCase.
This is my weekend hack. It's only a few hours old, but I'm looking for early feedback if anyone's interested.
It's a YAML-powered local editor for static sites (e.g., sites built with the Middleman Ruby library)
My main influence is the excellent PHP content manager "Perch". Eventually, I'd like to bring some of Perch's magic to Ruby/Sinatra sites, and this is my first draft attempting that.
I really like this idea, and it's one I wish I had time to work on myself. I think there's a real need for something like this.
I've come to the conclusion that a project like this would only be successful if contributors are expected to document WHY the code used is written as it is.
Without documentation (an example UI style guide, like the homepage of Twitter Bootstrap) it's difficult to see both the big picture and the purpose of the small details.
Twitter Bootstrap had a great home page right from the start – it served as documentation for the project, as well as a marketing demo influencing you to try it.
So imagine if the contributors to your repo were simply asked to follow a few guidelines, documenting their contributions (say, providing example HTML and using KSS to markup their CSS).
I thought I'd mention, for those who prefer a modern Ruby stack, it is possible to install a JSON REST plugin for Wordpress (like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/json-api/) on the back-end, and write your front-end display layer in Ruby.
I wrote a command-line app similar to `cal` to generate them in simple plain text: https://npmjs.com/package/calx
`calx 2024` will give you next year’s calendar.
