Updated recommendation on Rails versus Django?
iamelgringo: It sounds like you want 2 things.1:  Build out your killer idea
2:  Learn Django and use itI don't think the transition from Ror to Django should be that big of a deal for you.  Ruby and Python are similar enough, and the frameworks have enough conceptual overlap that it shouldn't be that big of a deal for you to switch.The Django community is very responsive and professional with questions.  Posts on the newsgroup usually get answered within hours, and IRC channel within minutes.If you do go Django, may I suggest Practical Django Projects:  http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Django-Projects-Second-Benne...Also, if you're looking for off shore Django developers, look up a few people on djangopeople.net.
