[rspec-devel] Game of Life questions

[Ian Dees]

What a coincidence!  It was this very morning that I took the plunge
and switched from my stock 1.0.8 install to a gem built from Dan's
branch, and I had some of the exact same questions.

I stumbled here, too, trying to figure out how to run my own story
file.  I spent a little while playing with spec's -U option and
StoryRunner before realizing that the right way is just to use plain
ol' ruby and require 'spec/story' in my story file.

Want me to take a first stab at a really short README for the RBehave
examples?  (Finally, something I might be semi-qualified to do for the
story effort!  ;-)

As a RSpec user, I'd say either a "bin/spec" that runs stories without
needing too many flags/options, or a separate "bin/story" would feel
fine.

So if I understand correctly, "objects" is the catch-all for things
that aren't models, views, or controllers.  What about for non-Rails
apps?  When I have my GUI testing hat on, "stories" and "examples"
seem clearer than "stories" and "objects."
