Just letting you know that I haven't forgotten about this ticket. I've
been very busy working on a larger project and haven't had a chance to
look into this. Unfortunately I don't have many students that are
familiar with Rails to help with this but I may need to teach someone
real quick. What kind of a deadline would you like to have to get this
done? I think you should be able to at least get this tested on the dev
side in the meantime.

Thanks-
