Rails - Nov 2007 - administration of RESTFul-based entities (admin namespace)

Hello list,

I''m building a youtube-like application in Rails. I''m basing
it on the
wootube open source project (kudos to wootube developers!).

I''m not into the RESTful model yet but I want to avoid modifying the
architecture borrowed from wootube. All my controllers are rpc/rest
mixed and the videos_controller, based on the one from wootube is
RESTful. I really like the idea of separating the admin side from the
front-end of the website (a la Django). This model fits nicely into
client''s minds and content creators for the website and IMHO is easier
for code maintenance since I don''t need myriad of ifs inside the view
as I have a view for admin actions and another view for front-end
actions. For each of my controllers, I have one that has actions for
the "front-end" and another one inside an admin subdirectory
(namespace) for administration actions.

I would like to follow this admin model for the RESTful controller
too. I''m not sure on how I would do this and if it is viable. Maybe I
should not use this model on RESTful controllers?

Any help and directions would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Marcelo.
