Right. But what I was getting at was, once you've got a body of
contributed material forming (including user accounts, messages
posted, tutorials, howto's, etc.), if you then want to switch over to
some custom Ruby solution, you've got to migrate all that content over
to the new system (which doesn't sound fun *or* easy. :) ). That's why
I was suggesting just starting with some custom RoR webapp right from
the start.
