Feature requests... WebSocket related - whom to talk to?

[Boaz Segev]

I have some thoughts and ideas about features I would love to see in Rails 5.0, especially web socket related.

I wrote a whole server / framework called Anorexic to test my ideas before approaching someone - and I think there's some decent code that could be put to use.

My main idea is about how to provide native web socket support to our controller classes, including the `on_message`, `on_connect`, `pre_connect` and `on_disconnect` callbacks, as well as allowing us to `broadcast` messages and `collect` information about other connection (controller instances, I guess)...

Whom do I approach? and whom do I talk to?

Anyone knows where to leave any messages about this stuff?

Thanks for any updates and replies.

As Anuj mentioned theres a rails-core mailing list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rubyonrails-core)

I just saw the repo briefly, and I want to suggest something. Everything I've seen rails-related had tests...maybe you should do that too :)

Thank you Anuj and Javier for the reference.

As for testing - I'm not sure how to write tests for socket services... but you're right I should write some tests, at least for psedo-requests...

as well as the mailing list the irc channel (#rails-contrib on freenode is a good place for sounding out ideas). In the past I've found it easier to get feedback there than all on the mailing list.
