Your favorite ruby web microframework, Camping, has some interesting new developments:

OpenID

That’s right, the framework only 4k large now has basic support for authenticating against OpenID servers. This functionality requires the OpenID gem, but other than that, it looks very simple and easy to implement. You can see the mailing list post that started it all here.

Squatting: A Perl Microframework based on Camping

This may not be entirely relevant edge Camping news, but it is interesting nonetheless. Coder beppu has managed to piece together a Perl microframework that takes the basic simplicity espoused in Camping. If you’re a Perlite at heart or were interested in looking into the language, this might be a good jumping off point. You can read the mailing list post announcement and check it out yourself.
