Really excited about all the new features coming out of NationBuilder's labs, am already starting to play with a few of them and have had some great successes. But, I'm sure I'm not the only Rails developer who's having a hard time organizing everything without a robust gem.
So, question for the NationBuilder dev team, and the larger developer community as a whole:
Do you guys have plans to make a Rails 4 gem for NationBuilder's API? It would be a really great way to streamline access to NB, and make it easier for developers to make applications that tap into the platform's potential. I see that ActionSprout has a Rails 3 gem on github, https://github.com/bellport/nationbuilder/. It's super-cool, but it uses an older version of Rails, is missing a number of components, and hasn't been updated in a while.
I was thinking of taking a stab at creating one. Haven't figured out the parameters of the gem itself, just that there's a need. Before moving forward on this though, I wanted to see if someone already has one in the works so we don't duplicate efforts? Or maybe there's room for collaboration?
Thanks!
