Hi Rolando,
> 1. Imagine we already have a Rails application. It says in Community > Engine's home page that it can be dropped into an existing > application. Could someone give me a quick overview of how that > functionality works? > Assuming your app is running on a compatible version of Rails (it's Rails 3.2.0 for the rails3 branch), you should be able to just add the gem and follow the installation instructions. Obviously if you have conflicting models or db tables, you'll have to sort out the issues (i.e. if you already have a User model and a users table). Sometimes a better way is to start a blank Rails app, add CE, and then bring in your existing functionality. > > 2.

I'll to get it updated in the next few weeks (unless someone else wants to do me a favor and do it instead!)
