Funny you should mention that: it brings us full circle to the very
interesting post [ruby-talk:43752], which pertains to plans for
hosting a Ruby-friendly Web development environment.  Davey, the
person who's interested in providing this service, is looking for
advice and recommendations on what such a hosting service should
provide.  (He offers it already for PHP developers.)

The followups to that post got side-tracked into discussion of vim....
The original post is worth another look.
