Seems like most Rails applications have similar 'base' functionality. As such, it seems that there would be value in having pre-build Rails applications at various functionality points such as:

  1. basic User model with authentication using Authlogic
  2. #1 + openid integration
  3. #2 + authorization using declarative_authorization
  4. #3 + Administration module
  5. #4 + a Profile model
  6. Themes (useful stylesheets and such)
  7. Friendship model
  8. Geocoding
  9. ...

In addition to the basic MVC stuff, these applications would include:

  • testing harnesses
  • seed data
  • git support

One could choose start from any of these functionality points.

Other than the sample application that are available with the various gems/plugins, are there projects such as these? If not, I would certainly be willing to contribute what I have.
