I have been monkey patching directly in environment.rb for a while now. I''m at a point where I''d like to move all of this code out of environment.rb into one or more files with meaningful names so as to keep environment.rb a reasonable size. Anyone decided to do this and willing to share advice on how they organized their extracted monkey patches? Perhaps put each "monkey patch" file into RAILS_ROOT/lib and requiring them from environment.rb? Something else?

Something else?I acknowledge the term "monkey patching" only under protest :-) (I hate it, and never quite know what it means anyway.) But have a look, in Rails 2.0 applications, at config/initializers. It''s a directory where you can offload environment.rb stuff and have it automatically loaded.
