Ruby version?

[Michael Kintzer]

Hi Greg,

Just trying to get familiar with project info on wiki and have forked
the project. Have you standardized on a Ruby version and patch
number?

Also curious if you've decided on a Javascript framework? Or plan to
stick with Prototype. JQuery is my favorite alternative, but I don't
want to rock the boat as I'm not sure how much I'll be able to
contribute yet.

You're doing good things.

Best Regards,

My understanding is that the app will be deployed on Heroku. They appear to be running REE 1.8.7-p253 currently. Here is the full version info:

ruby 1.8.7 (2010-04-19 patchlevel 253) [x86_64-linux], MBARI 0x6770, Ruby Enterprise Edition 2010.02

I would strongly recommend using jQuery as opposed to Prototype. It is much more widely used these days and has a huge library of plugins available.

Sorry to not get back to you earlier, internet here is up / down.

Def agree with Paul + Michael on JQuery.

I've been developing a UI with active scaffold in a separate branch, until we have better alternatives. I'm of the "use it until it will become cumbersome for some feature" approach. We'd need to do http://wiki.activescaffold.com/wiki/published/ActiveScaffold+and+JRails%2FjQuery to get AS to work with jQuery.

Thanks,
