Sinatra, a laughably simple web framework in Ruby :) (slightly OT)
Deepak Jois
Just wanted to add further to the whole idea of rewriting Tabbie with
a new schema and a good web framework.
The last time the discussion trailed off, there were only a couple of
contributors willing to commit (Klaas and me),. There was a also a
discussion about possible frameworks to use, with Ruby on Rails being
floated.
I just wanted to point out this brand new framework in Ruby called
Sinatra (http://sinatra.rubyforge.org). It is slightly Rails-ish in
its approach. But the best thing about it is that it is EXTREMELY
SIMPLE to get into. Read the tutorial on the main page of the website.
In fact, I would say for applications with a relatively standard
frontend like Tabbie where the real complexity lies in the algorithms,
a framework like Sinatra is a great fit, without needing to get too
deep into Rails. So the learning curve is effectively reduced to
learning the Ruby programming language.

Seems very much in flux to me as of yet....little doc etc.
In the case of a clean rebuild I'd rather go with something like RoR.

Hmm.. the codebase is definitely in a bit of flux but it will
stabilise sooner rather than later.
As for docs, as I mentioned there is very little to really get the
hang of, apart from learning Ruby itself. Did you try
http://sinatra.rubyforge.org/doc/
If you are on board with RoR that is cool :), but you might want to
check out if this is easier to get into. Other than that I dont see
too much of a difference either way.
