Please add a ruby/rails Debugger, YASnippets and simple browser like sr-speedbar

The Emacs Starter Kit is nice. There are two maybe three features which are very useful for doing ruby and rails development in emacs.

I) Debug Support. At a minimum something like 1. below and better would be to have full support number 2 below.

1. M-x turn-on-rdebug-track-mode (Very fast) 2. M-x rdebug (Slower but with much more info)

II) Snippet integration

Yasnippets with the following added mode specific snippets. Also db:migration specific snippets are needed and I have not found any on the net yet. I have hacked some together several times but never to my satisfaction. Here are the minimum set of yasnippet modes for ruby on rails development. Please use subgroups in these modes. css-mode rhtml-mode ruby-mode (augment with db/migration snippets) sql-mode

III) One of the many implementations of speedbar would be helpful. Though emacs has so many ways of navigating this is a lower priority.
1. sr-speedbar
2. ecb
3. Or perhaps popup menus for exuberant CTags for ruby.

Thanks,

Charles Magid
