I agree with points around working in a new language - it could be very
dangerous for you to contract someone you don't know working in a
language you don't know.
Some of the questions you should ask are: how will you know what's
reasonable timescale? What happens if the contracted developer leaves a
mess behind that deosn't match your spec? How will you independently
quality assess the code? How will you perform updates in the future?
RoR is great from what I've seen and heard. I've been burnt in the past
though taking on languages the company was new to.

Also take a look at using a framework.
I was taking it as given that they were using a framework, but that's
a good point to raise, since there may actually be people out there
that are insane enough to think a big complex system can be managed
without a framework (of some description).
It's also worth pointing out, for those unaware, that Rails itself is
actually a framework (for the Ruby language).
Saying "Ruby on Rails" is similar to saying "CFML on ColdBox".
