= DevLib  
== Sharing Library Development Expertise

It’s my pleasure to announce the beginning of a simple documentation  
project to help beginners and seasoned developers alike with common  
problems and introductory material for developing libraries in yor  
favorite language. Topics cover how the community develops libraries  
and their standard practices, common problems, and how to get started  
in the most common fashion.

Check out the wiki, currently found at [http://devlib.wikidot.com/](http://devlib.wikidot.com/)

Please, sign up and begin contributing!

This project is very young and therefore lacks a great deal of  
content, but that’s where you come in. Take your favorite language and  
start contributing to the knowledge of the community.

For a good reference on how to structure, or, at least, to start  
building and focusing the language’s page, look at the Ruby language  
page, located at [Under Construction](http://devlib.wikidot.org/ruby)

Your opinions and expertise are welcome and desired!

Error 400 - Bad Request

Nothing turns up for “devlib” on the search function for [wikidot.org](http://wikidot.org).

Thanks for noticing, it should be [http://devlib.wikidot.org/](http://devlib.wikidot.org/) as the  
link above points to, but I used .org in the second link by mistake.

Thanks for the interest!

Wow, apologies, [http://devlib.wikidot.com/](http://devlib.wikidot.com/) is the address with  
[http://devlib.wikidot.com/ruby](http://devlib.wikidot.com/ruby) being the Ruby website.  
Guess my mind was elsewhere for a bit there. 🙂
