Well, for ruby, the issue is that we are using puppet on server, and so
updating to cooker
rpms is IMHO risky. I would prefer to keep it with supported and tested
version ( as puppet
is using rails for active record, for reporting and this is used for
deploying postgresql db ).
So I can try, but this will requires more testing ( as I need to check
that everything still work
fine on puppet side ).

Well, how hard is this to update later the project to rails 3 ?
I mean, the first version is quite simple, so what about doing the
first in rails 2.X
with fewer features, and later do it in rails 3 with more features (
and likely better architectures, as we
often gain insight of the application once we dvelop the first version
and get the first feedback )
Maybe this was badly specified, or I badly explained, but a simple CRUd
will be enough, do not really
add too much feature for the first version.
