Although some web systems developers utilize the PHP-oriented Drupal framework and even Wordpress with all its popular plugins, Rails is dramatically better and is broadly supported in the developer community. I am not in a position to support these ports myself but if someone is I can find some resources to support them in doing so. Not sure about the individual RubyGems like tmail but RubyGems itself and the essential support programs for Ruby itself like RDoc and RI and RSpec are very important to this community. I am in the position being paid to architect "what's next" for a large (2500+ users already) ZOOM-based social membership network, and I'd like to be able to recommend FreeBSD 12-STABLE as the OS platform that underlies it. I know of several such projects and I'd like to create a factory for these deployments. Please contact me directly ( dwilde1 {at} gmail ) to discuss this. Thanks in advance! :D -- Don Wilde **************************************************** * What is the Internet of Things but a system * * of systems including humans? * ****************************************************
