Codetown ::: a software developer's community
I just left a job as Chief Architect at Resort Condominiums International (RCI) to start my own company with a couple colleagues.
RCI just implemented its club platform as a hybrid JRoR / Jee app. The project met with early resistance, but was very successful and has now started a series of extensions of RCI's use of JRoR.
The reason for the "J" was the standard one - the ability to situate the Rails components in a Jee server (BEA there).
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.
