Contacting Sinatra maintainers?

[ericgj]

I had in mind to drop a note on the Sinatra mailing list that we are doing this code reading, anyone is welcome to join in, and ask the maintainers if there are particular questions that newcomers to Sinatra often ask about or issues they run into. With the idea that we could maybe have a focus on those areas - "common stumbling blocks" etc. What do you think?

+1, Eric. That's a pretty good idea.

@ericgj I think it's a fantastic idea.

Actually when I thought of setting up this group I thought if it took off we could eventually reach out to the maintainers just like you said. I think in most cases they would be happy at the thought of something encouraging users to read the source before asking questions.

Im sure other @codereading/readers think this is a great idea so please go ahead!

The code reading project seems like an awesome idea. I just started watching the repo. I will be on a major conference trip until the end of June, so I won't follow everything in here closely. Feel free to mention me if you think I should join a particular discussion.

A very common question is how one goes about splitting up routes into multiple files rather than having them all in the one my_sinatra_app.rb file. This is typically only an issue once your app starts getting complex and I am yet to see a 'best practice' way of approaching it.

Good question @davesag. Do you want to open a new issue so we can discuss it?
