Rails is neat, and IMO felt a lot more like an web app framework than Django. Django felt more like it was better designed for creating CMS than general web apps. The one issue no one has discussed so far is ease and stability of deployment on shared hosting provider setups -- not everyone can justify a virtual private server. My hosting provider (dreamhost.com) is a typical web host, and it would be good to see web frameworks and applications working nicely in such scenarios. I would love to deploy more Rails apps at work, but Rails has a huge problem running on dreamhost. It constantly crashes, pages don't load randomly, performance is terrible, etc. After lots of troubleshooting, I gave up trying to adopt Rails in my environment. However, on the same setup php and python/fcgi run perfectly. Consequently, I just setup a Drupal website for a school website a few days ago and it could not have been any easier. - Raja _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
