I'm following this thread and I notice that no one has any idea how RoR
scales. Not surprising - new sexy technology is like that.....The
inverse relationship between hype and
in the field performance.
I hate to be such a stick in the mud but I think you will find that even
though it doesnt have the sex appeal of RoR - openacs.org has everything
else you
will need for a high volume high functionality community.
We've done quite a few projects over the years with openacs, and it is
an active foss project with a lot of high-volume installs - and PLENTY
of people to answer
your scalability questions unlike RoR

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
<http://www.drupal.org.il%A0> 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
Lior

Top o' the morning, gang!
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.
