[epiar-devel] 'Epiar.net' open source, on github

[Matthew Zweig]

Chris, why isn't the epiar.net site using this ruby on rails site?  Do you have a plan to switch over to this codebase?

I don't know ruby or RoR yet, but I'll give it a try.  I assume that there's a standard way to set up a local RoR instance, but do you have any suggestions?
