Understood. I just wanted to try to guide your thinking a little bit away from the technical and help you to focus on the needs of your audience. As for me, I'm a developer so I tend to ignore canned solutions to problems. Unless there exist a canned solution that does exactly what I want. From my experience it's often easier to build everything myself as opposed to attempting to extend something to suit my particular needs. I can give you no feedback on Drupal. I've never used it, nor even seen it. I've never had the need and I tend to ignore things I don't need. The whole "built-it" or "buy-it/use-it" question is always tough. At least in my experience. I don't think there is a black-and-white answer to this question. The systems I'm involved in a so large in scale that we end up with a combination of all of that. I use some plugins and gems to take care of some common solutions. But, they almost never do things exactly as I would like. Sometimes I can live with it, and work around it. Other times I end up throwing them out and rolling my own solution. If you're looking for a definitive answer on this forum, I'm afraid you're not going to be satisfied with any answer. The only truthful answer is that "it depends." In order to answer these seemingly simple questions would require extensive details of you application's specifications. It just seems to me like you're "putting the cart before the horse." You need a clear understanding of your requirements, and a clear understanding of the needs of you audience. Next you need to find out who will be building your application. Choosing that person, or company, should be done independently of what framework they may prefer. Only then should you work with your developers to figure out what the best solution should be. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
