Pre-packaged Rails applications
- by Craig
Seems like most Rails applications have similar 'base' functionality. As such, it seems that there would be value in having pre-build Rails applications at various functionality points such as:
basic User model with authentication using Authlogic
#1 + openid integration
#2 + authorization using declarative_authorization
#3 + Administration module
#4 + a Profile model
Themes (useful stylesheets and such)
Friendship model
Geocoding
...
In addition to the basic MVC stuff, these applications would include:
testing harnesses
seed data
git support
One could choose start from any of these functionality points.
Other than the sample application that are available with the various gems/plugins, are there projects such as these? If not, I would certainly be willing to contribute what I have.
