martin: I'm not trying to antagonize you but I will give you another case I think is "closer" to the issue.
What about all the threads about which platform is best to develop in or deploy to? It could be argued that the platform itself has nothing to do with Rails. Are those Rails specific issues? It depends on how you look at them. If you want to split hairs you can always find reasons to argue about anything. Although I might agree with you on the Rails "specificity" of the question I think that giving a straight, helpful answer to find information somewhere else is more useful than saying "don't ask about that here". It is not like if Arthur was asking about how to code something in C#, his goal is to do something with his Rails application. What Arthur was looking for is information. Maybe a gem/plugin has already been created around one of those third/party tools you mentioned and is used by most/many Rails developers? It sure would be nice to know. We are looking for info, that's all. conrad: Thanks for the comments and the links. They are appreciated.
