[LRUG] Help with mish-mash rails install

Fri Aug 18 04:40:36 PDT 2006

I did try the REST-full plugin with 1.1.4 (haven't used it with  
1.1.6) and found it OK.
The only thing you have to worry about is that the REST-full plugin  
hasn't been updated
for a while and all the latest bug fixes will be in edge.

Cheers

Jonathan
