Hi,

I’m looking for an application or platform (both in Ruby) which would  
make  
me publish screencasts with ease. I already know railscasts and  
aintablog  
(which is used by gitcasts). Does anyone know more free stuff which  
could be  
used and come with a lot of features out of the box (like comments  
management, spam protection,…).

Thanks in advance.

Chris

I built one from scratch for FOSSCasts and it didn’t take long at all.  
I’d say just spend an evening doing it and you’ll have a nice product  
tailored to your needs.

Mephisto might work for you though.
