"This is my first ever project in Wheels, and I was thrilled about the contest since it gave me a deadline. " "So far I've found this to be a pretty neat framework. I see a lot of similarity to Rails. The documentation is very good." I know the entries would really like feedback on their code. So have at it :-)
