Rails - May 2006 - BBC

Thought some of you guys might like to know that that it looks like the 
BBC are trialing Rails. I got a DB error when trying to connect to their 
prototype cataloging system the other day.

It has been known for some time that the BBC catalogue would be on 
Rails. But it only came public a few weeks ago.

I think BBC simply "got" web 2.0. How web2.0 is this?

I just wish I had a database like BBC''s to play with. Endless
possibilities.
