This is a great idea. I have been playing around with the attachment_fu database library (which isn't exactly finished). You have to build your own path conrollers and helpers and such, but it does work nicely. This combined with CSS images would make for a completely databased website.
Incidently, I got the Radiant system to cache the images quite nicely. Would this be the preferred method to cache the images on the filesystem or should I stick to normal rails caching? My gut instinct tells me to go with the radiant system.
