Picking apart the rails codebase / transitioning from novice

I''d like to get a real firm grip, and it seems that navigating the actual codebase might be the best course of action. Any advice as to the best route to take for maximum comprehension? What would be the most sensible way to

Google Base... in Rails?
Ok, so this is kinda out of the blue... but I''ve been looking at Google Base and thinking that it''s got some really good ideas in it. Especially the way you can create your own "type" of item with its own custom attributes, like date range, location, number, text, etc. Kind of like defining a database with a GUI, but not exactly. It seems really interesting to me, from

How much Ruby?
I bought the pickaxe about 1 1/2 months ago, and I have been reading through it and learning Ruby in my spare time. I''m about 200 pages into it, and I''m starting to think I don''t need to know all of the in''s and out''s of Ruby to get a good hang on Rails. How much Ruby do I really need to be proficient in Rails? Ruby is a great language, I love it, but

Rails Naming Conventions
DB field names: If I have a table that references 2 or more separate users from my users table, is there a recommended naming convention for this situation? In my case, I have 3 users associated with a record in my projects table: requester_user_id created_by updated_by I could name one of them "user_id", and then projects.user would work I guess, but wouldn''t work

The last few releases of OpenOffice have gotten very unstable on my desktop which is a CentOS 5.5 i386 system.

Friendly Reminder (OT)
Today, I had a tragic hard drive crash. I hadn''t updated anything to SVN in two weeks. I''m posting this here as a reminder to my beloved Rails community. Everyone, right now..... make a backup of your rails work. Make sure its on two disks. Many of you already do that automatically, but just make sure its working. Two near-release rails plugins were lost in the tragic crash

Mongrel Randomly getting TERM
Has anyone ever experienced this problem? Every 12-24 hours *one of* my mongrel processes gets a TERM signal and quits. There is all I get in my mongrel log.. ** Mongrel available at 0.0.0.0:8003 ** TERM signal received. And my rails-log is silent too. No request starting. Just the end of a successful request and then nothingness. The other processes are doing just fine and stay up for good.

Ackbar - ActiveRecord Adapter for KirbyBase
= About Ackbar Ackbar is an adapter for ActiveRecord (the Rails ORM layer) to the KirbyBase pure-ruby plain-text DBMS.
