Hi, Currently we are developing in ruby on rails, its working out very well compared to java :) Thanks for all your efforts. We would like to see where the community (and the core team) of rails things we are headed. What are the weak point of ROR? and where should it be improved or extended with new functionality? What are you currenty working on? Which available plugins are a candidate for inclusion? - Currently we are thinking a way that the idea of component based program should be somehow incorportated into ror (The way of reusing presentational ''objects''). Component based programming brings a lot of problems with its architecture, highlevel components just don''t work (for me). But designing all those screens take a lot of time to (even with a lot of predefined things in textmate). - We really like RJS, something that could be pushed to support more things in javascript? maybe duplicating a way of javascript programming in ruby and creating (cross-browser compatible) javascript? Maybe this isn''t such a good idea : ) but we would still like to make some type of prototype... - Include the activerecord statement in migrations (and record in database) to the database_scheme... - filecolumn is something ready for inclusion, how every to make it more in the style of ROR it should work something like has_image or has_images enc.. well, hope to see your reactions :) greets, Abdur-Rahman Advany
