Wow - this has been a really intense last 8 days! So much as happened / happened and been scratched! As with any new application (for me anyway - due to a lack of planning hehe) I had to restart at least once because I tried to do too much to quickly. I was trying to scale up without even a base to work on = disaster.
My first hurdle was working with REST - I have never done RESTful routes before and getting my head around how to use each one properly was hard, but it's for the greater good! Some features that were tried and scratched were 'ferret (full text) searching and paginating, mailers and many different tagging system (polymorph associations)'. All of these were thrown out because I couldn't get them working properly - maybe it was just me (more than likely) or I'd like to think that didn't apply properly to my models ( :) hehe).
So what is there - did I keep anything? Of cause! A basic searching system, users and businesses models, a tagging system and a rating system - all of which are fairly well integrated (working about 75%) so we're hoping to be right on track for presentations in about a month!
