IOWA book ideas

[Stefan Schmiedl]

Hi everybody.

Since I've received positive feedback on the idea of writing a book
about IOWA, I'm taking this a small step further.

What would you like to read about IOWA?
- Installation issues
- When to run on what
- apache and mod_ruby
- apache and fastcgi
- webrick
- on a benchmark or usability level?
- other?
- How the West was won
- a real-life report about creating a website for
managing mailserver configuration
- providing multi-language content
- anybody here with knowledge on how Japanese website layout
differs from Western ways?
- other?
- other?

Since we're talking about ruby-related material, I guess replying here
is ok. If you don't want publicity, you can also contact me privately,
the email adress is real, even if it does not look like it

Let's collect some ideas and contact the prospective publisher
next week.

Kind regards,
s.

What's IOWA?

I would be interested in hearing a really basic paragraph summary of
all sorts of cool Ruby toolkits and the comparisons with
like/competitive systems. I've vaguely heard of Copland, IOWA,
Needle, Rails, Red/Blue/NoYellowCloth so on. All I have experience
with is Rails, and I know there are some sweet things out there to
play with. Ruby seems to collecting clean, powerful toolkits in the
same way other languages tend to collect bindings and modules -- which
I find pretty cool. But finding them is the hard part, they are
alien. Stuff like this really needs a link at ruby-lang.com, highly
visible, something like "Cool Things That Might Involve Ducks".

They need html docs too. For example, Nitro has very little online docs. I
want to get a feel for something before I download it.
