Is there a list for discussing Rails internals or is that kind of one of those jealously guarded secret things? Also, I seem to be being a bit of a prat today, but if you read this closely: > **[Ruby on Rails](https://rubyonrails.org)** > > A web-app framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. Bit of a grammatical error there. (Sorry!) Giles ---

Well, I would say that even if no one wants to talk about internals with you, you can at least resort to reading the sources 😉 Otherwise there are some interesting discussion on rails-core. – Frederick R. aka Sleeper – removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid “MSDOS didn’t get as bad as it is overnight – it took over ten years of careful development.” (By removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid) ---
