You're right of course, the trouble of having too many github accounts!

I've updated the instructions

Not sure what is going on here, to get past the error `gem install
therubyracer` should do the trick.

As to why it's failing, need to figure that one out, we're piggybacking
on Rails application creation process, so not sure what's going on. I
think that Rails defaults to "not force you to install" a JS runtime,
and this is causing an error. Maybe we can trigger a check for it and
present the user with the option (e.g. some people would rather use
NodeJS than therubyracer). And if the user doesn't know what to do, just
default to installing 'therubyracer'.

HTH,
Daniel
