Hi everyone, I''m new to Rails and Ruby, and have been working my way through the Pickaxe and Agile Rails books for the last week or so. With a background in payroll apps I found that the default ActiveRecord mapping of decimal columns to float variables really bothered me!

I''d like to propsoe that the RubyOnRails mailing list forks into three lists. PROBLEM: * The list is getting swamped with traffic, making it hard to use and even harder to follow. * Many, many messages get lost, with no reply. * Due to the overwhelming traffic, it''s hard for beginners to get the help that they need, since their messages get lost in the shuffle, and

Hello, everybody, we have a situation where there are two sets of information about documents - slow changing and fast changing properties. We index documents by slow changing properties (content) using Ferret directly, and it works rather well. But now we would like to filter the searches by a fast-changing property, that is calculated separately, e.g. "isBookAvailable". The
