Ruby client for API

[dimus]

I will try to make it happen before the hackathon

Awesome! Let's create a repo

[gete76]

Have either you made any headway on this ? I've started to writing a client too

[dimus]

I did not start working on it yet, my plan was to procrastinate until May 15 😳

Hi, I'm on a workshop in Lithuania until the 15th.

My Ruby is not great, but I can help. Perhaps discuss the structure? Or are you doing a port of one of the existing clients?

[gete76]

It will probably take the form of something similar to the Python client. Though I don't mind discussing structure as you guys are more likely users of the client. Any thoughts?

[dimus]

I would just steal heavily from Python client

@gete76 I am trying to gemify the client this weekend -- https://github.com/GlobalNamesArchitecture/idigbio-ruby-client

[gete76]

Ok, though its not complete and we would probably want the listed gem to point to the idigbio organization for the client

[gete76]

@dimus nice work!

[dimus]

While doing refactoring I found that gem moved away so much that I decided to rewrite it from scratch https://github.com/GlobalNamesArchitecture/idigbio_client

So far it is still pretty much the same functionlaity that Greg put together, but broken into 4 distinct groups -- search, show, inpect and stats. Now I am figuring out what happened with code climate, it did have glitches last few months, and it suddently changed rating from 4 to 1 ;D

@gete76, I can move gem to iDigBio, let me know what do you guys want, I also do have a few questions if you can have a quick Google Hangout or something
