Thanks to Demetrius Nunes, Obie and I are the new maintainers of the great acts_as_taggable Ruby on Rails plugin.
This is just a quick post to give you all a few pointers, as I haven’t any new code to show for now. For instance, you might be interested in knowing what it’s all about (more here or here or here or here…), reading some documentation (more coming, promise!) or having a look at the source code in the CVS repository I set up yesterday - and thus might still be a bit flaky, so let me know if anything goes wrong.
I plan on opening an announce-only mailing list, but I don’t know if anyone would actually care for that (and just let Ruby Gems do its magic whenever they need to use it). As always, suggestions, ideas, improvements, bug reports, fixes, patches and millions of dollars in non-sequential $100 notes are all welcome!

Hi ,
I have been trying to use acts_as_taggable and I want to try and implement an automatic counter increment.I have a taggable model
Item whose corr table is ‘items’ .The Tag model has a ‘tags’ table which apart from name and id has a ‘items’ field (the same as the taggable model’s table name)
Whenever I add a tag to the item I want to increment the tag count in the items field so that I dont have to run a count query each time. (This is optimization is needed because I do this many times in my app)
I tried something like this in in Taggable::InstanceMethods::tag
tag_record[ "#{table_name}"] += 1
But I get a method not found error.Is there a way to acheive this?
Please help.
Vivek
