= NeoNeo

== DESCRIPTION:

NeoNeo is a Ruby wrapper to access No Kahuna (www.nokahuna.com) from within your Ruby projects.

It uses mechanize and tends to be a bit slow but hey, it's the only ready to use
library today so enjoy it, improve it or go away ;)

== SYNOPSIS:

require 'rubygems'
require 'neoneo'

project = Neoneo::User.new('user name', 'password').projects.find('My Project')
project.name = "Cool project"
project.save

p project.tasks.map {|t| t.name}

project.categories.find('An existing Category').add_task("Cool new Task",
:assign_to => 'Some Username')

project.add_task("Another way to add a task and notify ANYONE ;)",
:notify => project.members, :category => "Some Category")

== REQUIREMENTS:

* Mechanize (http://mechanize.rubyforge.org/mechanize/)

== INSTALL:

* sudo gem install neoneo

== PERFORMANCE:

As No Kahuna does not provide a real API to their services Neoneo wraps the
normal HTML pages as you can see them in your browser. This means not thaaaat
speedy performance. Especially because the No Kahuna guys using Rails cool
CSRF avoiding technology and deliver any form with a token which you have to
sent back to the server to confirm that you're not working on a stolen session.
Due to this e.g. the login procedure consists of THREE HTTP request :/
1. Set the language of the interface to english to allow Neoneo to parse any
messages correctly
2. Get the login form (with that token)
3. Post that login form

But I've tried hard to suck as much information as possible out of any HTML
page Neoneo is receiving and to lazy-load most of the details.
E.g. when you log in Neoneo can scan all your projects etc from the initial page
you get after a login. So no second (or forth to be correct ;) ) request is
needed to get a project list. And if you would like to get all the members of
a specific project Neoneo checks if they are already present, if not the
projects detail page is loaded and all the members are gatherd (along with any
other useful information from that page). If you call the members method again,
no new request is needed.

Just want to let you know all this. Neoneo is usable but it's more like a
No Kahuna Information Delivery Bus than a No Kahuna Dragster!

== Etymology
Neoneo as the hawaiian word for chaos is just what is logical caused by
No Kahuna ;)
