Today a mini drama was started after Yehuda Katz announced his kickstarter project to build a ".app" for Rails. He's trying to raise $25k to work on the project, see more there: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3768339 Putting the money raising question aside, I think this is a good project but I think that as a community we can do it together, learn a lot in the process and create an awesome product helping the community. My suggestion is that people interested get together and hack together in an open and public way. Yehuda might get funded and decide to contribute or do his own thing in JS, that's totally besides the point since our motivations would be different so we shouldn't worry about that. So, what do you say? - Matt P.S: Two years ago, I ported couchdbx to MacRuby and extracted some code you can see here: https://github.com/mattetti/mrstuff The couchdbx app is also available in my github repo. -m Sent from my iPhone
