[Rails] Re: Need advice on controller / view

Thanks all for the feedback. Very informative replies. At current I do
have it as a nested route as specified by Erol.

Bill has also indicated a very interesting fact. Being that index
should display ALL records, while list can be used for more specific
requests (i.e. to filter out results). I'll definitely give this a
shot. Which I believe is also a RESTful approach
