Hi,

As rails grows more to a enterprise framework each and every day. And I like it very much for 99% of my web app's. But I think there is missing something so please help me.

I have file upload's to the rails applications and trying to get ferret running. However both of these are data file's that can be inconsistent across development, testing and production envourement (dev/test could be one). I have ferret file located in db directory and my file's in data/{model_name}/{id}/{file_id}{version}{extention}.

Now when I upload rails, most of the developers just upload everything (including the db/data directory). However both of them contain some kind of data that shouldn't be replaced when dealing with a already live application. Couldn't we make some official (for 1.1 rails) confention of using the data with the following nesting:

- data
-- production
-- test
-- development

So you could upload everythink expect data when updating live application, this could be standarized by the many tools that are being developed for rad of rails. (like radrails :) )....

maybe there is already been a discussion on this.. don't know : ) couldn't find anything...
