Announcing CommunityEngine - A social networking plugin for Ruby on Rails
MissingMethod is releasing CommunityEngine, an open source Rails social networking plugin that you can drop into your new or existing application, instantly giving you all the features of a basic community site.
Lately there have been a raft of Rails social networking applications, so how is this one different? Well, other open source solutions like LovdByLess and OneBody are packaged as complete applications, while CommunityEngine is built as a plugin. This makes it easy to customize and even override its functionality.
For people who are interested in adding community features to an existing application, or for people who want to manage multiple communities using common code, CommunityEngine should be quite useful.

But this isn’t just another Rails social framework (like LovedByLess), it’s actually less than that, in a “less is more” kind of way. You see, CommunityEngine is just a Rails plugin, so it’s (supposedly) easy to just add some social networking functionality to your already-running Rails app. « Ruby in the Enterprise – […]
