Hi! I’m searching for a lightweight atom server written in Ruby, which can be used for development and is easy to install (if possible, without database). I’ve read one statement of the coder of the gem atom-tools, that he used a small self-written atom server, but in current builds the atom server is removed. Can you recommend a nice server? Thanks! ---

If I would write an atom server on my own, i would do it like you say. But I don’t want to, because i have to concentrate on other development :(. ---

In addition, there is a RSS/Atom ruby lib out there, between that, mongrel and active record, you could probably whip something up in a small amount of code. Jake ---

I think that everyone agree that mongrel handlers + atom library should allow you to develop it pretty fast, I would be able to make this in 1-2h. if you are interested, you can pay me 30-50$ to do this for you via pay pal 😛 please contact me via mail if you are interested. greets ---

Yep that’s my recommendation as well 🙂 Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless handheld
