Subject: Re: Ruby's Killer App - every language has one

I like the idea. I spent most of last week searching for a good CMS
and I was disapointed that all the good ones like mambo, wordpress and
tikiwiki are developed in PHP. Over the weekend I had to learn a
little bit of PHP, enough to develop my own wiki component for mambo
(a mambot as they call their plugins). But you know what? I din't like
PHP. It does the job and it is simple enough if you know C++ but it
just doesn't feel anything like Ruby. However I was very impressed by
the architecture in mambo (www.mamboserver.com). Those guys did a
great job with mambo. It is very very easy to install, to add plugins
or new components, to develop extensions, etc. and, it looks great. I
just wish that they had implemented it in Ruby.

I think Ruby with a clean CMS architecture like the one in mambo could
really make a difference for users and developers.

I'd like to know how your efforts are going and maybe even help you
with some of the implementation. So please keep me posted.
