Hello,

An admitted Ruby novice that has just been looking at Ruby off/on for a
couple of weeks.

I have a web application in mind (think Google Maps) that I would like to
implement primarily in Ruby. I am just in the preliminary stages of sorting
out the requirements, but for now I believe that 2D graphics will suffice.
Thus, the technology stack I am considering consists of:

Linux + Apache + Ruby + Ruby SVG::Graph + PostgreSQL

Would anyone care to offer any suggestions regarding the Ruby + SVG part?
Fundamentally, I am looking for a portable and compelling way to drive 2D
web graphics via Ruby. Since SVG typically requires a browser plugin, maybe
Ajax is an alternative?

TIA,
Regards,
--djw
