Bootstrap a Rails 2.3 app with a template

Branch shuffling.

• master is what we use ourselves, the explanation of what it has is this doc
• choosy is a template that allows you to choose your auth method from Authlogic, Clearance, restful_authentication or none
• authlogic generates an app with authlogic code
• restful_authentication generates an app with restful_authentication code

Keep in mind that once we decided on this setup the others have not been maintained.

• Haml views
• Sass stylesheets
• jQuery 1.4
• jQueryUI 1.7
• Blackbird for UI debugging
• CC.rb rake task
• Capistrano with Staging and Production environments
• A default ‘home’ controller in place of index.html
• A strappy rake task to install commonly used plugins, lifted from Bort and modified

Admittedly this thing kind of steps out side of the box in what I believe they intended application templates to do by bringing in controllers and specs.

• authlogic
• Capistrano to deploy the app
• config_reader to manage the app configuration
• friendly_id for pretty URLs
• gem_tools to manage gems and versions
• haml
• Rcov to help make sure you are testing
• RSpec for testing
• Cucumber for testing
• will_paginate for pagination
• seed-fu for seeding your DB

• bundle-fu for tidy includes
• jRails to handle jQuery
• core_extensions a bunch of common hacks I find myself using
• uberkit to make forms less painful

• acts_as_configurable
• acts_as_list
• acts_as_rated
• acts_as_solr
• acts_as_taggable_on_steroids
• acts_as_textiled
• acts_as_tree
• bundle_fu
• open_id_authentication
• shoulda
• solr_pagination
• spawn
• textile_editor_helper
• upload_column
• workling
• yaripe

You can use rake haml:from:format to convert templates to Haml, where format would generally be erb or rhtml
