Hi –

I’m working on a new book called “Rails Choices”, for the Pragmatic  
Bookshelf. It’s a guide to thinking about the factors involved in  
making choices during Rails development: templating system, session  
storage mechanism, testing framework, Ruby version, and much more.

As part of the book, I would like to include a large handful of  
anecdotes from people who have faced some of the choices and chosen  
one way or the other for various reasons.

If you’ve got an interesting story about a project where you or your  
team made a choice like this, please consider submitting it. If your  
anecdote is chosen, you’ll get a free copy of the book when it comes  
out!

You can submit one or more anecdotes here:

Let me know if any questions or problems. Thanks!

David
