• Live socket examples(?)
• Documentation

I'd be happy to lend a hand if/when I can. Quite busy at the moment but should free up a little in the next couple of weeks (that's if my help's wanted/needed by that time).

On the question of live socket examples, I'd say it makes sense to get a really simple docs site up-and-running first (maybe use GitHub pages?). Then you can compliment with a server that's dedicated to just running the server-side socket stuff, which wouldn't have to handle regular web traffic.

Also, slightly unrelated, but are you intending on working out a client library? Would be pretty handy, and also make it a lot easier to add live socket examples.

Wesley looks great BTW :) I'm gonna steal your Vagrant setup

Github pages with a separate socket server was exactly what I was thinking, but I totally agree the live examples should come later. I know a certain miss @samhicks is interested in doing the site, but we'll figure something out :)

A Client library may be in the works, but it should work with any protocol compliant lib. If I do write a client lib, it will live in a separate project and should be suitable for any server implementation.

Anyway, I'll keep you posted about things as they develop :)

That's cool, @samhicks will make an awesome job of the design too :)

@rowanmanning no pressure then ;) yeh love to help out! Especially seeing as you so kindly helped me out with some php-nis the other day @adlawson . Perhaps a similar content structure to the Pigeon site?

Yeah, same sort of content as @rowanmanning's Pigeon site. Issue #2 is about documentation which I aim to get started this weekend, so you'll hopefully get an idea of the structure of the docs then.
