Our first week provided lots of great feedback from users. One of the biggest gripes was not being able to subscribe to updates on an event. Well, thanks to the feeds and mail plugins, now you can! It was dead simple to implement, and now I can focus my attention on the next feature rather than having to re-invent the wheel on RSS and email.

The site also takes advantage of several other plugins, including

Thanks to all the plugin developers who took the time to build and document plugins for the Grails framework!

I also wrote one other plugin that wraps GreenMail and acts as a transient “Inbox” for sending emails during development. I’m putting the finishing touches on that now, stay tuned for more information.

Afterwards we had a panel discussion (fishbowl style) and dove into a wide array of topics ranging from dynamic vs. static typed languages, when to consider using Groovy/Grails and when NOT to. It was a great discussion and it was fun to hear so many different perspectives.

I’ve posted a few links for those interested in in learning more and the slides can be seen on SlideShare: Groovy Grails DevJam Jam Session

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-3118

Cobertura support is already pretty good, but there are some cases where coverage doesn’t quite show up at 100% when it should.
