Also reminds me of the sentiment in this recent article (via HN): http://www.kalzumeus.com/2013/06/17/if-your-business-uses-rails-2-3-you-need-to-move-to-a-supported-option-asap/ Insanely long article for the point it's trying to make, but one of the author's replies in the comments is relevant: "You’re welcome to attempt to bring the corrective discipline of the market to bear on Bingo Card Creator if you believe that innovation in web application delivery is the primary reason it sells." (Not to imply I agree or disagree with ether side of the argument overall) Ash -- http://www.patchspace.co.uk/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/ashmoran -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NWRUG" group.
