Subject: queuing work in a web app (sinatra/webrick)

Hi

I want to make a webapp that allows users to queue bit of work
(converting video for example). They are also able to see the queue at
any time and check the progress (queued|processing|done) and are able to
REORDER items in the queue.
The queue can be stopped (ie. paused) and resumed in between conversions
of course.

I'm using sintatra and the LoopingThread example from here
http://codeidol.com/other/rubyckbk/Multitasking-and-Multithreading/Terminating-a-Thread/

Im sure there's ppl out there who've done something similar. I can do
this in java no problem (synchronized lists etc) but not sure how to do
this in ruby as im sort of a newbie.

I have a working bit of code but im sure im missing something (memory
leak, synchorizing issues etc). Can post more code (very small) if
someone's willing to help.

Thanks!
