Hi,

I’m trying to get a big picture about what can be done with the mix of  
these two technologies.

My idea would be to use the power of Rails to provide the model and  
controller functionalities, and use Open Laszlo for the view design.  
This would provide a better abstraction level for the development of the  
GUI.

Can someone provide me an idea if this is possible what are the current  
limitations?

Thanks in advance,  
Gama F.
