For my first real world Rails Application:
There’s no need to have anything more elaborate than this. Rails lets me respond to change! I have a general outline because I know the little things will come up as I work! I am able to make decisions quicker because Rails allows me to try several ideas in minutes! If I spelled every detail out painstakingly in some arduous document, I’d get bogged down with heavy commitments and feature creep. Having a rough outline allows me to focus on the core ideas of the application and make judgement calls while I work.

I’m really into picture specs, photoshop up the page and screens before you start. Allows you to figure some things out first, and clients can get a feel where you are going with an idea. I love that you are so pumped about ror , I’m going to have to do more with it.
