Makes it real easy to sort out who might be worth working for. Best regards, Bill ---

That’s precisely what i dont want. Well i am getting RoR with 2yrs + experience. This requirement is really flexible hence won’t mind screening a candidate with a good resume and RoR knowledge even if the experience does not match. ---

Rails did have a long 0.x period. I started playing with Rails around 0.7, released in late 2004, and was employed as a Rails developer for 0.9.x, released January 2005. There was a bit of a community, even then. Two years experience is about the maximum, but it’s not exactly unheard of.
