Rails - Jul 2009 - Integrating one app into another

Hi, my name''s Ryan Bigg, you may know me as Radar or "that guy who
created rBoard". Today I wish to ask: how do you integrate one app
into another? Lots of people have come to me and asked the question of
rBoard but I can''t really help them since I can''t find an easy
way to
do it. Ideas?

You should look at rails engines for this.

Seems a good way to go - how about having a branch of rboard that is
the exact same as rboard, just jiggled around to be a plugin?

i can''t see many problems with it being a plugin. Rails seems to have
plugins with app functionality sorted, though you might have to think
about routes and assets
