Well, to try and hit both points ("What Rails stuff would members like to
cover?" and "Could someone ask some questions to the list?") I present a
couple of issues I'm looking at in my current Rails project(s).

1. I want to let people tag stuff in my app. There are at least 3 tagging
solutions out there: acts_as_taggable, acts_as_taggable on steroids, and
has_many_polymorphs. Which should I use and why?

2. I want to start letting people upload photos to the project. What should
I use and why?


I'm pretty sure I know the answers to these, and the implementation details
are covered in the docs for the relevant parts, but it might be a good
starting point - especially as both of these things are fairly common parts
of websites and don't get any coverage in the beginner's books...
