Ooh i will have to have a play...
Came to wt due to frustration with rails :) Coding up a wt app in ruby
sounds like an interesting proposition :) How do you deal with delayed
construction (i.e. as seen in tab widgets on the wt-homepage example?)
If you could keep us all up to date on the scalability of the system that
would be fabulous too... Scalability is defiantly one of the biggest issues
with wt generally though... Hence why a java version, lying on top of
terracotta would be so awesome :)
As for fcgi... I use lighttpd and fcgi is a breeze, think there is an
example confg somwhere in the mailing list archive too!
