Het Ira,
Well RoR is a sexy contendent but more in from the ajax/web2.0 point of view...
If it's a community oriented site providing community services I'd go with drupal.
There's even a Israeli community at http://www.drupal.org.il which I'm involved in (as you know).
I'm sorry about the abscence of the themes directory there but if you want a scalable flexible community oriented site drupal is my tip (drupal 4.7 has sprinkles of ajax resources and supportas well if that's what rocks their world).
I have no idea how far RoR scales but spreadfirefox, snowboard magazine, kerneltrap, debian planet have big communities and seem to be doing fine on drupal.
If you find a scalability doc please do share.. I'm interested to see how these two measure up...
best regards
best regards
Lior

I haven't played around with RoR yet, but a client of mine wants to
launch a full-fledged community site with oodles of content, and his web
programmer is pressing in the direction of RoR. I'm starting to read
about it but I can't find a lot to read about how scalable it is and
about dimensioning (i.e. how to plan the CPU power needed for this
venture and if Ruby+Rails can be realistic for a majorly busy portal,
how efficiant it is treating transaction compared to say PHP).
Anyone got some tips or bookmarks?
TIA,
Ira.
