From: Andy Stone Date: 2005-04-28T01:23:52+09:00 Subject: Re: Rails Hosting If I only had the time, I would. Right now, the only contributions I'll be able to make back to the ruby/rails community is to contribute code back that I'll write in the process of my work. I do however plan on setting up a blog type site to detail my learning of ruby/rails and how it differs from the java/jsp setup that i'm accustomed to. This is mainly to benefit me in those moments when I remember that i've already done something, but can't remember the details. I've thought about doing something similar detailing my experience with apache,tomcat,postgres,mysql,etc... I've lost that info before and don't want to do that again.
