   I did. Looks to be primarily PHP-orientated, which kinda rules me 
out. quite apart from the fact that I'm looking at more R&D-related 
stuff anyway (distributed application development a speciality ...)

   PHP aside, I'm also trying to work out the point of Ruby - during my 
brief flirtation with it, it didn't appear to offer anything that wasn't 
already catered for by Python and Perl. TurboGears I know about but 
haven't looked at since I do very little web-related stuff nowadays. I 
tried to learn Zope once, but gave up when my brain tried to chew its 
way out of my skull.
