foreach (or virtually anything you might use for concurrent programming) only really makes sense if the work the "clients" are doing is substantial enough to overwhelm the communication overhead.

To the subversion experts out there: I''d like to set up svn to maintain customizations to my base app for each client.

I am serializing a data object (FooData) into an ActiveRecord column (Foo). I''d like to be able to do delegate methods to the data class if the Foo class doesn''t have that attribute. So instead of: f = Foo.new f.data.item1 I''d like to do: f = Foo.new f.item1 I was hoping that I could add a method_missing method to my Foo class and call methods in the FooData class
