The Instant Rails project didn't stay dead for very long... Rob Bazinet has offered to take over and will soon be releasing a new version featuring Rails 2.0.

Please give Rob your thanks and support!

Hi --

4

This is good news for me. I love the accessibility of InstantRails.

Thanks everyone. If there are things you would like to see please let me know.

I want to get a new version out with Rails 2.0 as Curt mentioned and then plan toward Ruby 1.9 once its released.

Nathan,

Thank you for the input. I will keep these in mind and see what others feel they need as well.

I can say Ruby and Rails, along with MySQL will be key pieces in upcoming releases along with maintaining any existing software in Instant Rails.. As you know, you can always add your own gems to your Instant Rails instance anyway. I was thinking Capistrano myself.

Great news!!! I totally agree with Nathan regarding what to include in Instant Rails!

Thanks Rob!

That project deserves to live into the 2.0 times.

FYI, I've been using Instant Rails 1.7 and already successfully upgraded it to Rails 2.0.1 (after upgrading gem to avoid the well- known Zlib errors on Windoze)

The one thing that would be really nice would be a pre-configured version of Subversion bundled. I know the other all in one Rails stack has that but it would be great to see that packaged with Instant Rails.

I use Instant Rails as a tool to get other developers in our IT department interested in Ruby and Rails development and there is nothing like having an easy installation of all the key components available to them so they don't get frustrated and can hit the ground running.

Excellent news that IR will live on.

I like the feedback and will take it all into consideration. I want to get those things in there that make the most sense, the ones with the most hands raised.

I think Capistrano would be a good one for sure.

I am planning on compiling a list and asking for assistance from the community as to the importance of each.

Thank you.
