I’m curious to know what the motivation behind this was. Makes a good
proof-of-concept, perhaps you’re a student?
Otherwise, I don’t see any business value in cloning what Craigslist
already
does. If I’m going to post an ad, I’ll use Craigslist and suspect most
people would. Posting an ad on a clone site doesn’t seem worthwhile…

There is no business motive behind this. Having said that, it can be
used for business purposes if one wants to.
winrar works though. do you have a finnicky FTP client? (i’m usually
using some sort of scp when developing from Windows though, mayhaps
you should to?)
This is the first time, i have released a file/files of some kind. So,
i am not sure which one works for all in all environment. I used 7-zip.
Suggest me, i will rezip and send upload again. could it be a naming
issue?. not sure
Also, the zip on your site looks to be missing tests. Maybe you
accidentally left these out when creating the zip ??
The question I was dreading. I flunked on this testing part. I will
create tests and upload them in a day or two.
by the way, i am looking for a ruby/rails based forum. does anyone know
any?. RForum (script that powers this forum) doesn’t seem to work.
can extract the archive with linux unzip for some reason
xeno@amrita:~/incoming$ unzip railslist-v1.0.zip
Archive: railslist-v1.0.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is
not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In
the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found
on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of railslist-v1.0.zip or
railslist-v1.0.zip.zip, and cannot find railslist-
v1.0.zip.ZIP, period.

This particular project is for that of a grander purpose.
Cure AIDS Now (CAN) Foundation is undergoing clinical trails with Google.org to release a non-toxic anti viral patch to cost-effectively
suppress HIV. The long term approach includes the solidification of a
$50B bond to distribute cure nebulizers with integrated IP addresses to
be linked with Google satellites. This will lead to the anonymous
identification and tracking of all those who suffer from HIV around the
World. Eventually leading to a meta-moment in which HIV/AIDS is
eradicated from Earth.
The overall goal is to eliminate the human immunodeficiency virus from
the human genome.
This particular gig is to deploy a Craigslist style website specifically
geared toward the HIV community. The main purpose for this subsidiary of
the CAN Foundation is to develop a perpetual can goods and fund drive
for the community.
Basic functionality should include 1) posts by location, 2) anonymously
generated private messaging and 3) event calendar – exactly similar to
the functionality of Craigslist
Implementation of this project should be deployed in two phases:
Note: basically UI enhancements includes a colored background,
different placement of certain modules, and change in fonts – pretty
simple enhancements.
Requirements:
Must be proficient with Ruby on Rails
Must provide your own stage/development hosting server
Must a very quick turnaround (phase 1 within 24 hours).
Deliverable:
Final website deployed/migrated onto a dedicated web hosting server.
This project is with Mr. Brando Bronzino - creator of the Rock & Roll
Hall of Fame and Mr. Lynn Luckow - founder of Craigslist.com
Upon successful completion of this gig, you are entitled to a position
on the Cure AIDS Now Foundation team as chief web master and 5% of
charitable funds.
