How to Contribute

If you have rake installed, there is a rake task to create a new memory:

rake new[type,title]

| Name  | Description                                       | Default  |
+-------+---------------------------------------------------+----------+
| type  | Memory type. Can be one of image, quote, or post. | post     |
| title | Title of the memory                               | a-memory |

Other Uses

Please use this site as a template for creating other rememberance sites. It is really easy to run (just add webserver) and we are actually just running in on Amazon S3. But any vanilla webserver would do a great job of hosting this site.
