I am volunteering for this activity also.. I could help in putting articles in a chronological sense.. which could help us piece the timelines of the south indian history.. what say?
I have not been exposed to Ajax & Ruby, I guess I will start picking it up with this exercise .. By the way, I work only on .net and have no formal background in java.. :(
oh, am not a java guy either... an out and out C guy.
I have good news and bad news for you Good news is that you dont have to write a single line in java to get this done. The bad news is that you have to learn Ruby instead.
But dont worry. I dont have RoR experience either... but instinct/research tells me that RoR would greatly simplify the job for us. Check out: http://www.rubyonrails.org/
