Anyone interested in learning more about Rev on Rockets?

For those of you who don't know, Rev On Rockets is a set of libraries, and a workflow created by Andre Garzia for implementing Rev CGI quickly and easily on servers. It's free. So, why would anyone want to use it? Well, before I get into the various uses for RevCGI, I'd like to tell why I'm so
