The future and our startup: Persai

Hey all,

I just wanted to write a note about the future of RadRails and our new
venture.  The radrails.org and radrails.net domains have been
successfully transferred over to Aptana.  They are providing lots of
community resources and have a full time commitment to the RadRails
community.  Check out their RadRails documentation @
http://aptana.com/docs/index.php/RadRails.  Again, I'm excited to see
what they do with the project as they integrate our stuff into their
existing IDE.

Matt and I are being brought onto the Aptana team for the next few
weeks as consultants to finish off some features we didn't get a
chance to do.  They include:

1. Capistrano and Deployment support
2. Friendly and helpful configuration errors
3. Integrated help (assuming RDT can simply reference more RDoc locations)
4. Fast Ruby and Rails debugging
5. Testing improvements and integrated code coverage
6. Rails Refactoring support
7. Ruby support for Aptana HTML editor

Now I want to take a moment to tell you a little bit about our new venture...

Persai is a startup that seeks to apply advanced machine learning
techniques to content and advertising.  We are using Amazon's web
services to build a scalable architecture that will learn from
consumer interests over time and match them with content crawled from
around the web.  The idea behind Persai is that you will have an
active agent crawling the web looking for content that is relevant to
you and only you.  Every link we recommend will be something you want
to read.  We are zigging to social news' zag where popularity trumps
relevance to the individual.  That is Persai in a very very brief
nutshell.  I will be explaining more and more as we get closer to our
beta on our blog.

If you want to be notified when our beta or alpha launches head over
to www.persai.com and we'll notify you when the service is ready.
We're not sure how many accounts we'll be giving out for each stage so
for the moment it'll have to be first come first serve.

We plan on treating Persai like an open source project with a personal
touch.  Like every other open source project communication tools are
vital.  Here are some resources to connect with the project:

http://groups.google.com/group/persai (mailing list)
http://blog.persai.com (blog coming soon)
http://www.persai.com (signup and main landing)
#persai (irc)

Thanks again for all of your support throughout the last 18 months of
Rails tooling.  It's been a blast and I hope you join Matt and I for
our next adventure.

Cheers,
Kyle
