Subject: Re: Ruby WATIR

Did you try the watir mailing list?

http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general

Or other *atir lists (particularly FireWatir which also has some nice  
guys)

Are you sure you are looking for Watir? There are other excellent  
tools like Selenium or more recently WebRat (never tried though but  
heard that it''s good)

Selenium/WATIR are not tied to Rails, but there are some tools/plugins/ 
etc. which make the integration easy. (WebRat is a Rails Plugin  
actually, so that's a Rails thing - (though someone just made a Merb  
fork, so I guess it can be tweaked for other stuff as well)

I would guess you are seeking for a tester with some (preferably a lot  
of) experience in web development... but a web guy with strong  
programming skills and at least a bit of inclination for testing could  
theoretically do...
