Talk:Ruby on Rails

Structure
How should we structure this page? When I started this, I didn't think of printing usability at all, and broke everything into tiny bits and pieces. But making it usable for print makes it less usable for web. And in my opinion, web usability is way more important than print usability in a programmers book. Programmers is most likely online, and will most likely prefer to use the browser. I don't see the value of being able to print the entire book and make it look book-like when it's printed. --Leethal 19:00, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

And I disagree (of course) :-) I know there will be people who want to print it and read it. We talked about a PDF version - any luck on figuring out how to make that happen? --Aeden 02:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

There is a similar process for creating PDFs and printed books put together by PediaPress, and now available with very little effort on Wikipedia. I've used the PediaPress to edit a book from Wikipedia articles, and you get back a beautiful well-made thick paperback with ample footnotes and a good index. I recommend them highly. -- WillWare (talk) 14:06, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Might want to cull "culled"
You might want to reconsider this wording:


 * The content in this WikiBook has been culled together from a variety of sources . ..

"Cull" means: "Something picked out from others, especially something rejected because of inferior quality." (American Heritage Dictionary, 3rd edition)

Moved unneeded parts here

 * Ruby on Rails/Manual of style
 * Ruby on Rails/Contributors
 * Ruby on Rails/Available templates

This is better here in the discussion page --At.fhj.itm (talk) 16:37, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
