    <description>We take ROR seriously</description>
    <item>
      <title>UML and Rails</title>
      <description>I found we can have a better picture of our ROR applications with UML diagrams, which also help us to communicate better with our business clients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I just started to look for some good UML tools for Rails developers. Please let me know if you found something.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
On Windows, maybe we can use &lt;a href=http://dia-installer.sourceforge.net/&gt;Dia for Windows (Win32)&lt;/a&gt;. YOu can also use &lt;a href=http://live.gnome.org/Dia&gt;Dia on Linux and Unix&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
Or you may use &lt;a href=http://staruml.sourceforge.net/&gt;StarUML &lt;/a&gt;to visualize your rails app: &lt;a href=http://blog.zmok.net/articles/2006/11/13/visualize-your-rails-schema&gt;
Visualize your Rails schema&lt;/a&gt;

You may check out this great Open source tool:
&lt;a href=http://graphviz.org/Download_windows.php&gt;Graphviz&lt;/a&gt;
and install this Rails plugin:
&lt;a href=http://rubyforge.org/projects/rav&gt; Rails Application Visualizer&lt;/a&gt; 

&lt;p&gt;
This project promised something we&amp;#8217;d love:to provide full roundtrip engineering of Ruby Code &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=http://argouml-ruby.tigris.org/&gt;ArgoUML for Ruby&lt;/a&gt; but it seems the development slowed down. 
Did you find something better?</description>
