I have a .Net community that I need to replace (built with DotNetNuke) and I have the choice of expanding my minimal PHP knowledge (from designing my WordPress template!) and going Drupal or Ning or expanding my minimal RoR knowledge and finding a good framework to start from. I'd rather go RoR since I think it would be more useful and I have someone in the house to help with questions! I need forums, galleries and news functionality, basically. This may be a funny question considering the side project we're both working on but I figured you might know of something if it exists and had a good reason to go with alternatives in that case. 2) I wanted to comment on JQuery. I love it. I think it's cleaner, not as bulky and easier to use than Prototype/Script.aculo.us. Tad and I have written two sites with it using RoR on the backend so far and I prefer it when I have the choice! Hey Nola,
