I’d like to create a new InstantRails-type app for Rails developers who use Windows. It would be free & open-source of course.
Reasons:
I haven’t developed a Windows app before. Could anyone please provide some general steps that I might look into to get something like this going?
For the most part InstantRails is just an encapsulation of all the software necessary to get things rolling — Ruby, Rails, MySQL, Apache, and so on. There’s no reason you can’t package things up the same way; just look at how they do it. The only app you’d need to write is your equivalent of the manager, and if you’re going to use a GPL-compatibile license, you could simply modify the InstantRails-Mgr.
