The more I use Ruby on Rails, the more I become convinced that it is damn near the perfect framework for state government Web-based applications. That said, I don’t know of a single state, local, or municipal government that is experimenting with Rails in any meaningful fashion.

I fear that is because there really has been little or no penetration.
