If they are having problems we could give them REALLY REALLY descriptive error messages with links to pages that help them tackle such errors. Some of these errors I am sure could be tackled by some rewrites and making the framework more "nooby proof". Thank god I didnt have such questions when I was starting out but you have to also see that people who want to give ROR a bad name will attempt to raise the barrier to entry (which we must lower) so more may take advantage, contribute, improve the framework... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Ryan,
How could you ever forget the absolute No 1???
Why is Rails better than PHP?
Cheers, Sazima

We should however be able to combat that by positive steps and solutions. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

If we target the most common questions and put up responses , help , bug fixes, tutorials on those questions we will be doing what the rest of the industry does. The rest of the industry follows this rule : target the most common questions , problems, bugs etc. and the rest will follow (I forgot the name of the law but there is a law in EE/CS that asks you to target these most common flaws first). Perhaps the authors of http://www.ruby-forum.com could have something like that? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
