Wii Sites
I am just trying out Pocket SharpMT: a pocket pc blogging application, that integrates directly with wordpress. This offers a more portable approach to blogging, and another way of justifying to myself that my pocket pc wasn’t a waste of money.
I haven’t had much spare time over the last few weeks to look into rails, so I have took the easy way out and used an open source php script for wiisites.com
just to try and get some early interest.
It occurred to me while deploying the topsites script to wiisites, that the difficulties in deploying a rails app would make rails far less suitable for the kind of open source web apps that are designed to be widely distributed, than a php app.
It would be interesing to hear other peoples opinions on how suitable rails is for developing open source applications and whether the deployment could be easily scripted so that a novice user could deploy a third party rails app.
