Hi Everyone, I''m resending this since it did not come back to me (and no replies either), so I think it may not have got through at all. Apologies if you receive multiple copies. Is there a FAQ for this list? Is someone considering setting one up? Perhaps as a collaborative wiki that is kept roughly current and can be referred to directly by list members... Here are some of the questions that I can think of... 1. How do I set a default homepage? (this is the one that reminded me to ask about a FAQ) 2. How do I upload files? 3. How do I perform a search? 4. What are the form helpers? 5. How do I process images, create thumbnails, etc? 6. Does Rails scale? 7. How does Rails compare with J2EE? 8. Is there anyone really using Rails for a big site? (I can already see you smile) 9. What is a good Rails host? 10. What is a good shared host? 11. Which server OS would you recommend for Rails? 12. Deployment with Apache + FCGI 13. Deployment with Apache + Litespeed 14. Deployment with Apache + Mongrel 15. How do I use RadRails? 16. What is a good editor/ IDE? 17. How do I use Capistrano? 18. How do I create a drop down list from the contents of a table? 19. How do I do user login? 20. Is there a way to do role based access? 21. What are good books to read for Rails? 22. What are good books to read for Ruby? 23. How do I import a CSV? 24. How do I write out a PDF? 25. Why do checkboxes not work as expected? 26. How do I do background tasks? 27. Any good CMS for Rails? 28. Any good tutorials? 29. How do I do internationalization in Rails? 30. How do I use AJAX? 31. Is there a good drop down calendar plugin? 32. Is there a good drop down time plugin? (<<-- I''d like to know) 33. How do I reset sessions? 34. How do I set up Rails? I just picked up that by scrolling through some of the mails that I have saved over the months... I know all these answers are there somewhere, but I''m just wondering if there''s a meta-version that points to the correct places. Does anyone have the bandwidth to kick start this? :-P Cheers Mohit. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

While the wiki is awesome and answers probably 99% of those questions, having this in more than one place is to the community''s advantage. The recent wiki spam problem is just one reason why. --Dylan On Oct 11, 8:59 am, Pratik <pratikn...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> http://wiki.rubyonrails.org > > On 10/11/06, Dylan Bennett <mbof...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > > >http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/web/Frequently%2... > > > Start adding! :)-- > rm -rf / 2>/dev/null -http://null.in > > Dont judge those who try and fail, judge those who fail to try..--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Couldn''t hurt to make individual pages. The main FAQ could then be a table of contents, so to speak, with links to the individual pages. (And yes, I know this whole idea may seem redundant to a lot of you, but redundancy is good when you have wikis that fill up with spam each day.) --Dylan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
