[MacRuby-devel] Rails.app done by the MacRuby community

[Mark Villacampa]

Totally agree on code speaking louder than words :)

The dashboard should contain a list of projects, with their respective "Settings" button which opens a view to change a few specific rails options, ruby version (maybe with semi-automatic rvm support to create a gemset per project?) and DB (only MySQL and maybe 1 NoSQL to start with?).

An option to run specific port would be neccessary to run multiple apps at once. Maybe even handle that automatically detecting already used ports.

I'm going to start digging in couchdbx's code right now :)
