How and Why Companies are Using Ruby on Rails: The Thesis!
Michel Barbosa is a bachelor student at the Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam in the Netherlands and has just completed his thesis: "Delivery of the Key Adoption Factors and Key Characteristics of Companies Using Ruby on Rails." Or, in layman's terms, he's produced a document that goes into the hows and whys of how companies have migrated over to using Ruby on Rails.
There are lots of graphs, charts, and tables, so enjoy!

Hmm, interesting survey.
Funny how most surveyed companies say there's enough Rails documentation, and at the same time there's a contest to enhance documentation for Rails.
Anyway, this provides a good list of questions for companies that are evaluating to use Rails, and at the same time you can use the results as a benchmark.
