Ruby on Rails Community Highlights

That jsvars plugin sure is sweet. Has a lot of followers on github, too. You can get to it here: <a href="http://github.com/ejschmitt/jsvars rel="followtothemax">http://github.com/ejschmitt/jsvars</a>;

please leave that in for the 'rel="followtothemax"'. lol.

I'm also pleased to see that HTML escaping by default is going in too:

The Rack Middleware/Metal screencast that they link to is actually really good. I hadn't delved at all into Rack or Metal before but I definitely understand their utility now...
