[Rails] rubyonrails w/ amrita

[John-Mason P. Shackelford]

Corey,

Interesting that you should mention Rails & Amrita. I have been thinking 
of writing a Rails controller for Amrita since there are some nice open 
source tools for Amrita, e.g. the Web Publisher Eclipse plug-in ( 
http://webpub.narucy.com/index.en.html). I really like how quickly I can 
mock up a page using plain old ruby objects with this tool, but 
unfortunately it does not supply any kind of controller for use with a 
dynamic web application.

Writing an Amrita controller in Rails/ActionPack might be just the thing 
to help bring these communities together. Rails would benefit from 
having the rapid prototyping Amrita & this Web Publisher tool could 
bring it, esp. since most of rapid development bells and whistles of 
Rails (scaffolding, etc.) requires you to use ActiveRecord--which is not 
at all useful when your data source is not a database.
