Is there any opinionated Game engine/framework like rails?

Preferably for web based games, but its ok if its not so.

Diaspora and tent.io try to create a distributed social network. Are they late in the game? Will they gain momentum?

I see a huge potential here. For e.g. XMPP is a successful protocol (atleast google adopted). I don't like monopoly, i don't want facebook the only option which everyone must choose (Because its centralized).

Whats your opinion?

I recently started maintaining a diary using emacs org-mode. So far for about a month i have been maintaining a diary, i just write whatever comes to my mind.

Now i want to structure it, so that i can extract information about me in future. In my diary i write both my personal and professional happenings.

1. I would like to know whether the fellow hackers maintain a diary? 2. What was their experience (useful/useless)? 3. How they structured it (A sample template will be useful)

I was learning about Behavior driven development and Cucumber recently. It looks interesting, but i feel that it could be an overkill in the production.<p>What is your good/bad experience with BDD in real projects? Do companies like Google, Github use BDD in largescale projects?
