Hi Martin. I am very familiar with your work, and I admire and appreciate all your accomplishments. My little Resources stack was inspired in part by the "resources controller" work you did a few years ago.
At this time, I cannot justify paying you to do these ports for the following reasons: 1. I already ported my Resources stack, and it provides more of what I need than inherited_resources. 2. Since we are porting existing forms with all layout and styles done already, formtastic does not provide much benefit. It is a shame, because having these ports would be good for the DM community. ..tony..
