Let's say you search for "dengue fever." Your search returns 137
pages, ordered by date, but labeled with a page number. You decide to
look at articles written just before and after the Haitian earthquake
(Jan 12, 2010). Should you start on page 65, or 125?

That's nuts.You should have the choice of 137 pages with the date of
the first post on the page displayed as the page link.  Start on page
"Jan 7, 2010" and read forward. That's easy. Jakob Nielsen agrees with
me, so there! http://rooh.it/PageNumbersMeaningless

I can do that with Bruce William's Paginator gem (http://
groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_frm/thread/
7267090150ef6cc7/5c75c93d0324f356). However, will_paginate is the de
facto standard.

How do we get semantically-meaningful page links using will_paginate?
Or should I stick with the paginator gem?
