Re: [Openscrobbler-devel] Ruby on Rails

[Jonathan D. <jd...@wu...>]

I'm thinking that in the short term, RoR may get us going - if for no  
other reason but to use RoR. In time, pieces may be ported to other  
things.

As I understand it, RoR is used by Basecamp (www.basecamp.com) and  
other 37signals projects (37signals.com) - in fact, 37signals  
developed RoR.  I'm not sure how much Basecamp is used and what kind  
of infrastructure has behind it.
