Rails - Aug 2006 - Polymorphic Associations and grouping users and projects

Hi all,

In my app I would like to create user groups in my admin. Currently I 
have the following models and associations that facilitate this.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :memberships
  has_many :groups,  :through => :memberships
end

class Membership < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :group
  belongs_to :user
end

class Group < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :memberships
  has_many :users,  :through => :memberships
end

What I would like to do is add project groupings to the admin and I 
think I may need to use polymorpic associations. However I dont know if 
this is he best option.

For someone who is much brighter than me, is the code below the best way 
to achieve this?

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :memberships, :as => :groupabale
  has_many :groups,      :through => :memberships
end

class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :memberships, :as => :groupable
  has_many :groups,      :through => :memberships
end

class Membership < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :group
  belongs_to :groupable, :poymorphic => true
end

class Group < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :memberships
end


Thanks for your input!
