Not everybody is an extrovert ex-hack with a talent as copious as yours. How about trying to work out how you can do blogging from the point of view of an introverted spreadsheet addict who takes half a day to write (or more accurately rewrite) three coherent paragraphs.

That would make interesting reading.

Far better would be for government to deal with the issue. If HMRC were responsible for collecting late payment interest and debt collection fees then I suspect terms would be adhered to.

Think of it as Tax Credits for business.

It's not a good idea to upset anybody on the Internet. As the Chinese say - politeness costs nothing and the future is uncertain. That's true more today than ever.

I would get rid of the categories completely. The categories take up too much room on the screen. The main screen should just be a list of questions - just like any answers.

Much better to seed the tag list with the sort of keywords or phrases that might make good categories. That's what tags are - dynamic categories.

Re: Packaging Edge Rails as a Gem?

Do you know about the beta gem server?

Using

gem update --so http://gems.rubyonrails.org

you get pretty close to the edge - probably as close as you'd want to be.
