i started up a new rfacebook branch if you will and i’m calling it “rplatform” (http://github.com/tehcurtis/rplatform/) since I’m hoping it’ll allow compatibility with any network that chooses to implement facebook’s Platform.

I’d also love to jump on the bandwagon of developers looking to help maintain RFacebook. I think Facebooker and RFacebook have their own differences that make each of them great while also falling back in other areas. I would love to see more native ruby object support in RFacebook as well as the ability to use restful routes, but I’d also love to see a little bit more polish and organization to the Facebooker code and I really miss the method_missing with the new design coming through (meaning in order to use Facebooker, the new API methods have to be hard coded into the plugin) … I’ve got a couple of ideas and would love to contribute some code in the coming couple of weeks.

rfacebook has been a great help for me to get into the facebook application development. Thanks for all the hard work, and I would really want to see it exist for some more time. Cheers!!

@Shanti

Thanks! You should really submit patches to the Rubyforge project:

That way, anybody working on the project can add it in.

Matt - you rock, dude!

Thank you for all of the hard work on RFacebook.

I’m just about to deploy some new apps to production using it, and have also created a “Quick FB” app template leveraging your work with rfacebook:

I wanted to submit this code (see Rails section that I added) re: uninstalling for consideration in rfacebook:

Facebooker looks good, however as far as I am aware it is expecting your entire app to be a facebook app. In many recent products I have written this is not the case and we use alternative view formats within the same code base to achieve the facebook interface.

However rFacebook does allow a facebook app to exist within an existing web app easily and it would be a shame to lose this support.

[...] [Learning Note] Facebook => rfacebook => Facebooker 21 01 2008 It’s a matter of time. I knew this blog for a long time ago, now I just got time to read it, I was wondering how I could set up my facebook app using the new facebooker that’s been said more advanced and better than rfacebook (I’m lazy to copy paste its link, Google for that, I’m sure you can get it in less than second) as its blog writer also confessed that facebooker creator is involving Chad (a familiar ruby guy in both ruby and ruby on rails communities), so it’s better and he wants it to be much better than rfacebook and he emphasized that he doesn’t want to leave existing RFacebook developers hanging. So when I just read this post now I just got the answer, I just knew that I have to do [...]

Good point, website update

Thanks for the kind words. There have been numerous people volunteering to maintain the project, so I’ve been adding them to the project.

Another word of thanks to Matt.

Though facebooker also exists, I would choose rFacebook over it any day due to documentation and the number of active users.

You have done a great job - either pass the baton or keep up the good work!

Hi! Maybe you should post a notice about this on RFacebook website. This way, people just starting and looking for a solution would be advised to consider Facebooker instead of RFacebook.
