We are close to releasing a high-volume, multi-lingual, e-commerce site in Ruby on Rails that has previously been written in an alternative Java framework (e.g. servlets and JSP). This is a real-time 24/7 betting and gaming web site based out of Gibraltar in Europe. When we embarked on this project, we really wanted to find examples of other high-volume web sites that had adopted RoR. We did not find any that helped us argue our "cause". Having said that, the "Rails way" armed us with a lot of ammunition to persuade our client to let us give RoR a go. Perhaps I am wrong, but I am wondering if the work we have done may help others in the community when it comes to new projects. We have been a Java house for nearly a decade and we have now adopted RoR for our web-based projects. Is anyone interested in following how we do, what issues we hit etc etc? Is there an appropriate forum where we can post ideas, comments, issues?

I have been involved in developing not just sites, but also the transactional engines and back-end systems for gambling companies primarily in Malta, save for William Hill and Casino.net in the UK, for almost a decade I don''t know of anybody who has done it in RoR (yet). Those kinds of systems are generally made in C++, Java or a combination of the two. However I don''t see any reason why the front-ends can''t be made in RoR.
