I'd also suggest if at all possible, get someone to help out with getting you started. If you don't have much of a background in programming this isn't going to be the easiest first project. Go to a local Ruby or Rails meetup where you live. Depending on your budget (from a case of beer to some real money) I bet you can find someone who'd at least be able to mentor you and give you a hand with the details of your project. Mailing lists are great, but a bit of pairing with someone with more experience and having their IM details will really help you get this done with a lot less pain.
