What are the standard best practices for sharing your rails application on the web?
As far as I can tell, you just delete the logs directory and clear out the database.yml
What am I forgetting?
Github!
All the entries from my .gitignore file:
log/*.log log/searchd* tmp/* db/*.sqlite3 db/sphinx/* config/database.yml test coverage coverage/* config/*.sphinx.conf config/deploy.rb
why ignore the test dir? dont you want to share those?
I have a spec dir, not a test dir.

To share with other programmers, you develop out of an open version control hub such as RubyForge or GitHub (?). Don't commit your logs or database.yml, but do commit a database.yml.example with a scrubbed copy of your private database.yml.
To share with end-users, you should key your database to a Group model, which has many Staff model objects. When a Staff logs in, they only see database records in their Group. Then you can sell your app - as a service - to as many Groups as you can qualify, and each group cannot see the other groups' data.
