Yeah. I gave up because I'm just trying to get things to a working state.

I jumped the gun on pulling it in, but here's what I'm up to (I've
been meaning to write this out for a while now):

I've created a shell engine where I'm just moving code over from the
radiant repo to get tests to pass.
Adding ancestry was something I hadn't looked at yet and had some
failing specs, so I just backed it out to handle later.
This exercise has shown me just how tightly coupled our code and tests
are but I'm not planning to refactor. I just want to get things
working as an engine and move from there.

I'd like to be able to remove users and layouts and only have the
minimum needed to manage pages from an existing app. So if you already
have your own users, Radiant would just require that you hook into it
to make the association.
Likewise, layouts could be something different entirely and I'm
working with some ideas with this code
https://github.com/dissolved/radiant-file-system-resources-extension

Things have been slow and I was trying to think of the best way to
open the code up to the community. We can fork my repo to the radiant
organization and manage things there.
I started with new code just so I could have a clean slate.

Advice and contributions are welcome, but what do you think we ought
to do with this project on github? Should I make a clean branch having
no history in radiant/radiant? Or should I fork it and create
radiant/radiant-refactor?

 hey Jim,

 Nice to hear that! I found radiant-refactor in your githubz, and notice that
 you gave up on has_ancestry pretty early, may I ask why?
 I think I can spend some time on radiant in the coming weeks, any pointers?

 Regards,
 Benny

 Hey everybody,

 Radiant development has been quiet, but it's still under development.

 I'm currently on a project using Radiant and planned to do a lot of
 development to move it forward. Unfortunately the project I've
 inherited had a lot of serious problems that need some major surgery.
 This has kept me from pushing code for Radiant.
 I've been doing some work to get to a place where we can move to Rails 3
 faster.
 Tonight I'll be hacking with others at Arlington Ruby
 (http://arlingtonruby.org) and will be working with people interested.
 I've shared ideas about CMS with Patrick Peak of BrowserCMS and he'll
 be there helping me move things along.

 My current plan is to make a new clean project and pull things into
 the engine to eventually feedback to Radiant proper. I'll update the
 mailing list with details soon.

I forgot to mention this: I'm doing what I can to drop dataset. It's a
test dependency that seemingly noone else uses and I have no desire to
maintain it myself.
