Ruby on Rails Thursday, November 25, 2010

You're being ripped on because your question is a bad one. Let's break
down your original post:

>>>> I want to create a mail service

A bit of a vague start. Presumably you're not going to be asking a
web-dev centered mailing list for advice on how to run a brick and
mortar postal service, so by "mail" we are left to assume you mean
"email". That's fine--it's a common substitution--but it's an
inauspicious start to a conversation whose very foundation will be
accuracy.

>>>> like

Oh dear. Here, I assert, is your major failing. The word "like" is so
hopelessly ambiguous as to make the remainder of your question
useless. I keep a few dogs; I am "like" them as Homo sapiens and
Canis lupus familiaris are both mammals but I can hardly pass as a dog
in a social setting. How do we quantify your "like"? How do we come to
understand your intention, to divine the outline of your desire?

We cannot.

>>>> gmail

Things have only gotten worse. The name of a _large_ application gives
little hint as to your hopes. We have, now, definately resolve the
previous ambiguity, though: you did indeed mean "email". The problem
with simply saying you hope to build something "like gmail" is that
we've no way of knowing in what manner something is "like" Gmail. Do
you simply want to build a web-based GUI for an email service? If so,
how will this GUI behave? Are you cloning Gmail? Do you need advanced
searching? What about filters, labels, integrated video/voice/text
chat and so on ad infinitum?

The phraseology of your question is so very, very bad as to make it ridiculous.

>>>> using ruby on rails....where should i start and how can i proceed?

Hopefully you can start to see why this is atrocious. I won't belabor
the point, much:

* You should start by giving some background into your prior research.
Display some knowledge of the problem domain.

* How you proceed is entirely dependent on your end goal, which we cannot know.

> This is so innocent question...
> we all here to help each other

We are, but you must first have the courtesy to phrase your question well.
