Finished in a week is about very good going, but certainly around the right ballpark :) In the kindest possible way; all these 30 day challenges are far more involved than creating a straightforward rails site. Have a look at some of the blogs of the 30 day challenge and you'll see exactly what I mean. A week isn't long enough to do an adequate job on market research, ecommerce integration, beta testing or marketing, although any developer can throw a proof of concept together pretty quickly (My challenge is based on a prototype system that I've already written in-house using PHP and MySQL). All the best, Mike Hi Rasmus,

Why use 30 days. I had a week to spend, so I implemented a web application in a week (planning, implementing and deploying) using the web framework Ruby on Rails.

I've worked on crash-logging functionality myself, and it's both a time-sink and a distraction from your "real" work. If someone could take that off my hands, *and* increase the likelihood of my receiving meaningful data, that would be very welcome! Could I also request that you add me to your 30-day challenge list?
