Hello, I am getting ready to start building an intranet for a small company i work for. I have a question about the general architecture of such a thing. the intranet itself will contain multiple applications for various departments. what i am trying to figure out is if i should start by making each application as a seperate rails project or attempt to design it from the top down, all in one project. I have a feeling i am not being very clear here so please feel free to ask questions, also alot of details are murky as i am just starting this. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Easier to write, easier to maintain. The answer also depends to an extent on what levels of interaction you need between the apps.

That will make the whole thing very re-usable. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
