I’ve been reading a lot about Ruby and we even have an open source  
solution to support it. I’ve been trying to track down some  
performance info for a prospect, but have found a lot of anecdotal  
information to support pros and cons, with nothing that makes my  
prospect’s decision easy. This is prompting me to consider some sort  
of Ruby challenge for developers. I have no idea at this point what  
that might look like, but would be interested in some feedback.  
Please email me or visit my blog at: [www.weborbworld.blogspot.com](http://www.weborbworld.blogspot.com) to  
comment. This seems like a great language and platform we would want  
to fully support just like we are supporting other languages and  
frameworks. The more squeaky wheels the better though. 🙂

Cheers,

Kathleen

excuse me Kathleen but the community is better served by hosting the  
discussion here on this message base than on your blog so feel free to  
clip out comments from this list.

Hi Craig:

Thanks for your direction on this. When you say clip out comments,  
what do you mean. I’ll most certainly do what I need to abide. Thank  
you.

I suppose, in the context, this would mean to head on over to http://  
[dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails](http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails), find the material you want  
through the search engine, then copy/paste (giving attributes, of  
course).

I hope that if you simply request documentation there will be replies  
“in  
list”, if you will.

I think he is saying the discussion should be here, but you can quote  
some of the interesting comments on your blog. He just doesn’t want you  
stealing the traffic away to your blog for the main discussion.
