I have a sortable list that I serialize and pass to ruby to parse the
results and update my array of hashes.
eg.

$tasks = [
  { :id => 1, :name =>  'Do the dishes', :position => 3 },
  { :id => 2, :name => 'Take out the trash', :position => 2 },
  { :id => 3, :name => 'Shovel the driveway', :position => 1 }
]

My hurdles:

(1) serializing and passing with Ajax

var list = Sortable.options('tasks').element;
new Ajax.Request('/tasks', { parameters: Sortable.serialize(list)});

I get this:

tasks%5B%5D=2&tasks%5B%5D=1&tasks%5B%5D=3

would it be more useful if It was formating it as such?
task{id}={position}&

Where are the %5B%5D coming from?

(2) parsing it in ruby

I grab the request with web brick and I pass the query to params

params = request.query

How do I go about parsing it and updating my array of hashes?
