Folks, Like many of you in the list I’ve been learning Ruby and trying it for a while now, especially the Rails framework. I wonder however what tools are there to move whatever I develop on my Mac (or PC) running Ruby on Rails to a hosting environment, for an online application. I have heard about “migrations” and other features, but frankly I know little about the subject. Could you share your knowledge on this process, and what are the options to do it properly? Thanks a lot, Joseph L. Hurtado Web D. Toronto, Canada ---

You’ll likely get better answers on the Rails mailing list. [http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk](http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk) ---
