Why Ruby?

[donnyv]

If you want this to be an easy install for people then I don't believe Ruby is going to help.
Just look at the discourse.org project and all the troubles they have trying to roll out an easy to install server.

Is there anyway this could use maybe node.js or mono?

@donnyv the Ruby implementation of Pelias has been retired. If you go here you'll find that everything has been refactored in node.

We'll be working on some additional documentation.

Oh good!
I went to the production branch and it showed Ruby.
Can't wait for the docs!
