Hi Mohit, I'm the developer of El Dorado. I can't speak to how many people are using the app, but I've seen it around a bit. I'm under the impression that some people have forked the code, or used it for internal projects, etc as well. The people over at FiveRuns just posted a automatic installation that features El Dorado as well: http://eldoradoapp.com/topics/249 I've been happily using the app for a few sites that are active, and I've been continuing to add new features from time to time. I don't think there are any major bugs or issues, but of course there are still areas that could be improved and such. I've certainly been maintaining and using the app, though, so I know that it's useable. I'd love to see El Dorado integrated into Radiant, so please do let me know if you'll be working on that. Even if you won't be putting it back out into the open-source community, it would be fun to see the product. I should note that there are some other good alternatives that may be easier to integrate into an existing Rails app. I don't have extensive experience with them, but here are the ones I'm aware of: http://adva-cms.org/ http://www.toghq.com/ http://www.communityengine.org/ Of course, I've built El Dorado to work in a way that I like, and I think it's a terrific app. Please do let me know if you decide to use it for anything - this is the whole reason that it's fun to work on open-source projects :) - Trevor -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
