That sounds like it might be a useful feature to implement - say export project (and all its dependencies) and a corresponding import project feature. Then you could export a project from the production environment and have it as canned data to pre-populate your project scenarios. Also your users could then create offline backups of their projects. That would be specific to your application though, and not an rspec feature. Or am I missing something? Cheers, Dan
