Radiant is open source… why not contribute a patch?

@David: My bad. I picked up the habit of calling sidebars “rails” when I was a developer at Orbitz. This was before Ruby on Rails ever existed. You’re not the only one to be confused by this terminology that I’ve been trying to banish from my vocabulary.

Thanks for that summary — I was trying to get my head around what Radiant seemed to be missing, but somehow couldn’t make it click until I read this post.

btw, calling the ‘rail’ a ’sidebar’ would have made it easier for us rails devs to parse — I see “railModule” as a css class and I get all confused
