Hi Doniv, this isn''t a comparison site for Ruby on Rails vs X.  This
is a site for Ruby on Rails development.  There are many web
frameworks that can be used for web development.  Your decision in
some cases will largely be dictated by the people that you work for or
the goal that you have established for your project.  The people
within this group have a certain level of passion for Ruby on Rails
and using it for web development.  If this is a course project, it
seems that your goal is to learn by doing your own research.  I''m
guessing that your goal for this project is compare both performance
and productivity.  If this is the case, you can start by defining a
spec for the web application.  You should be able to extract a
specification from depot app in AWDwRv2.  Then use this spec and
implement using both frameworks.  The information that you gain here
should produce alot of statistics (i.e. LOC, development time, and so
on).  Next, you can check performance using a light, medium, and heavy
load using N number of users doing diferent things on the system.
This should get you started and I wish you the best of luck.
