Hi,
Do you have any plan of resuming asciicasts.com?

Hello

I'm not sure what to do with asciicasts.com. I've started putting English versions of the free episodes up there again because I noticed that Google still brings up asciicasts.com results for searches higher than it does for the new Railscasts versions. That said, it takes more time to put up both versions as I have to change the format of the code samples and this is why I've not put any translated episodes up there for a while.

Hmm... I'm just brainstorming wildly here so please don't get mad at me if my ideas don't make any sense :)

How about creating a asciicasts.com theme for some kind of community-based cms - let's say Drupal - and re-launching asciicasts.com on that cms?

That way, you'd only have to bring in your original English text versions and let the community do the rest? Have a "propose translation" button and maybe another "fix errors in this episode"? Of course everything that gets submitted would need to go through a moderation process (I guess all contributors to this github repo have already proven their "loyalty" at least a dozen times by now) but all the overhead connected with pushing text to github, you pulling it in and copying it over to the site etc. would be gone in an instant.

eifion? What do you think?

(wow, time flies by so damn fast... I've been hyper-busy with my regular job and didn't even realize it has been by far more than six months since we started this topic...)

Bumping this topic once again. @eifion did you find the time to think about my idea with some community-CMS-based approach?
