[Backgroundrb-devel] Rails Configuration in Workers

[Adam Williams]

I'm not a dev of backgroundrb, but in the two weeks I've been using it  
- this is definitely in need of repair. Look at this simple Google  
search of the list archive: http://tinyurl.com/6xk4g2  Intentional or  
not, folks are confused by it.

BackgrounDRb developers - Thanks for all the hard work. I only want to  
encourage Scott to help you make it better ;)
