Rails Engine Plugin

The engines plugin enhances Rails plugins — allowing sharing of code, views and other aspects of your application in a clear and managed way.

ala..

script/plugin discover
script/plugin install engines

SIFR (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement)

Like what it says on the tin, it allows you to use javascript+css to dynamically replace static html text with more fancy flash fonts; but without the need to photoshop any images...

for Ruby on Rails

first install the Engine plugin (above) then do...

script/plugin install http://svn.rails-engines.org/plugins/engines

script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/sifrhelper

for Normal Websites ;-)
