Railsters:

‘Slafe’.

🙂

(I know I know - add a custom inflection to the Inflector:

Inflector.inflections do |inflect|  
inflect.singular /^(slave)s$/i, ‘\1’  
end

!)

Relax homeboy. It’s a game, featuring:

- rampant Ajax abuse
- Ajax via Juggernaut
- Fuuuuuuuh-lash
- sound effects
- web 2.0 community stuff
- more cool stuff under the NDA
- all written via pure TDD
- with a wiki on the side (yar\_wiki)

And rest assured that only Europeans are … retained. 😉
