Hello Group,  
I am hoping to get some advice/referrals.

I have an existing rails project that is in production and used by my  
business in the Chicago area, but I have colleagues who have indicated  
an interest in it.

While I think I am ‘decent’ at developing simple applications, it is  
not my primary occupation.

I am looking for a rails development shop, with good references, that  
can take my existing application either as a prototype model and  
improve it/optimize it for a larger number of users OR use the  
prototype as a model from which to build a completely new application.

Does any one have some recommendations for reliable, efficient, and if  
possible cost-effective rails developers/ consultancies?

Thanks in advance.

David
