This stuff is already in Rails 2.0 RC1, isn't it? Because in http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/9795 you say that you've added a class Rails::Plugin and I've already seen this one (and even extended it in that patch). Ok, I think I'll go and read that stuff up. > Since Rails' own "native" plugin loading mechanism has now caught up > with some of the enhancements that the engines plugin used to provide > (a proper plugin model, loading all remaining plugins with :all, etc) > I'm keen to trim down the changes that the engines plugin makes so > that the plugin stays as lightweight as possible. Yes, I already wanted to ask about that. Looks like quite some stuff could be dropped from Engines. > If you're keen to contribute, any investigations as to which parts of > the existing codebase (along with your Pastie'd patches) would be > greatly appreciated! I haven't used Engines so far and don't even know all of its features :) That said, I would be happy to contribute as I'm both personally and professionally interested in this approach. I guess I'll just spend some more time on reading the codebase and then report back.
