I am wanting to do something like digg but internally at our company  
and am looking for a rails based starting point. There is something  
out there called pligg which seems pretty good, but it is PHP based and  
I expect to be making quite a few changes/additions, so would really  
prefer a project based on rails !

- hope to hear from you

More looking for a whole site, pretty much like pligg  
([http://www.pligg.com](http://www.pligg.com)). Kindof like a typo type thing, but instead of  
for blogging, for a digg like site.
