For anyone still wondering about REST and rails - there's a fairly long and involved thread on rails-talk going on right now that might be of interest.<br><br>If you are subscribed, it has the subject: "WHY Rest"
<br><br>If you're not, then here's a weblink: <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/beee7117e23b5fbd">http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/beee7117e23b5fbd

- note<br>> that the rest discussion starts about 20-30 mins in after Paolo's talk about<br>> his Tabnav plugin.<br>><br>><br>> A primer to the discussion (including links to mailing list threads) can be

<br>bears directly on topic choice for a meeting, but it's cool and he<br>said that Rails does REST better than anyone else :-)<br><br><br>David<br><br>--<br>Upcoming training by David A. Black/Ruby Power and Light, LLC:
