Hi we are actually beginning a two-years project which will be developped in rails. Our developers dont know rails, they are learning it, but do you think its a better idea to begin with the 1.8.6 (with a lot of help on the web) and after migrate .... or begin with the 2.0 ?
I guess as long as you're starting up, it's tempting to just go with 2.0
caveats:
1) most existing books don't cover it. 2) some plugins may need modifications to work.
Can someone point to a good repository of Rails 2 info. All the addition anf changes, migration issues, and particularly which popular plugins (attachment_fu, acts_as_taggable_on_steroids, restful_authentication etc) may have problems with it?
Hi there, sounds like you may be getting your Ruby and Ruby-on-Rails versions mixed up ! Regardless, I don't think you should be getting concerned with versions if you are just starting. A good grounding is required in Ruby and Ruby on Rails, then worry about versions. BTW: I'm curious, why would you commit to a 2 year project ( in Rails ) if your developers don't know it ? Seasoned RoR developers may argue that a 2 year project in anything else may equate to 3 or 4 months in RoR :)))) cheers, DaveP
I recommend going with Ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 2.0.2.

Start with the newest version of Rails possible. By the time you deploy, version 3 will probably already be out
