I've only just started on the Agile Web Dev. book.  I'm starting to 
realise that maybe I should learn Ruby at the same time ;-)
I have several apps I want to write for internal use but for my first 
project (to be GPL'ed) I want to create a simple web interface to allow 
people to enable an auto-responder and/or email forwarding on an Exim4 
server.  It will automagically fiddle with a user's .forward Exim filter 
file.
