Conclave is a web forum application that the Columbus Ruby Brigade is crafting. It is released under the MIT license.

The project was started on 9/8/2012 and is under development. It is not recommended to use at this point.

This project will start as a Rails application, but once approaching release we'll repackage as a gem that will integrate into an existing Rails application.

1. Teach the beauty of the Ruby and Rails stack
2. Lower the Open Source contribution barrier
3. Release useful, working software.

All contributions are welcome! Please follow these steps for easy contributions:

1. Clone the repo locally
2. Implement your code changes
3. Test your changes -- I'm more concerned with testing the intent of your code, not it's implementation. If it's a smallish change, write a unit test or two. If it's a larger feature, we'll need a Cucumber scenario(s).
4. Submit a Pull Request on Github!
