Captain's Log: 2013.08.01

• Skipped Ruby study group for this week, but will attend next week's LA Ruby/Rails August meetup
• Created fixtures for all the rest of the oneboxes
  • Took up most of our session since oneboxer currently supports 30+ sites
  • Certain sites (i.e. Hulu, Google Play) kept making curl hang for some reason
  • Now we'll focus on creating specs specific to each onebox
  • Started to clean up fixtures but still need to finish
  • According to whitelist.rb if a site supports OpenGraph then it is already supported by oneboxer -- will have to keep that in mind when making tests
• Captain Kurt's challenge: if we make the 1st failing test from yesterday (out of 2) pass, he'll get us pizza during the next session
  • Used Nokogiri's inner_text() method to get just text of extracted data, without HTML tags --> CHALLENGE COMPLETED
  • Also made 2nd test pass technically...by commenting it out for now (bad test that we'll need to rewrite)
  • Monday will be Pizza Day! Or hopefully perhaps something healthier
• First tiny code review from mentor Robin
  • Mostly positive, asked for reasoning behind using require_relative and add_onebox manually for each onebox instead of just including the whole onebox directory
  • We replied that we figured it would be easier to understand and would reduce security risk
• Planning on registering discourse-oneboxer gem to RubyGems.org on Monday
  • Captain Kurt joked that he would register it himself tomorrow without us (we don't meet on Fridays)
  • We were not amused
• Worked on RGSoC introduction blog post
  • Forked summer-of-code repo, created new branch
  • Converted approved rough draft to Markdown
  • Will submit pull request by Monday
• Captain Kurt suggested creating Ruby wrapper in future for Apsis game engine by @wilkieii
