Thanks Paul. I always think of Railscasts as the video incarnation of a cookbook. Bite-sized recipes around individual topics.

The sort of thing I had in mind would be a journey from knowing nothing, to having a website/Blog/whatever, broken up into chapters which visit all the important areas of Rails.
