Hi,  
Sorry if this ismay seem a naive question. But I am considering using  
RoR  
for a quite sizable project involving 10-15 developers. I am very  
experience with other technologies such as Java and C++, and I would  
know how to structure a system so that different developers can work  
with different parts of the system without stepping on each others toes.  
In Java I could use eclipse and have different projects for the DAO, the  
application layer, the web layer, etc etc.

With MVC model in RoR and the way RoR projects are structured I am a not  
sure how to structure a project. Clearly I certain Ruby components could  
be separated out in separate projects.

What are the common ways that larger projects have been structured to  
facilitate effective development (turn around leveraging the MVC model)  
and at the same time separating system structures into manageable  
pieces.

Thanks a lot of any feedback, and sorry if this was the wrong forum. But  
I did not see any on more general applications engineering.

Regards  
Jari K.

Hi Jari.

Yes, this is the wrong forum for that 😉  
There’s a RubyOnRails specific list¹ where you can ask that.
