The use of independent dynamically loadable functional add-ons is a
great idea. It would be a huge plus if these new rails-bundles could
be loaded by either Rinari or rails-emacs allowing users to select the
core based on their personal taste without limiting their options for
additional functionality, allowing the authors of the bundles to reach
a wider audience, and providing more cohesion in the emacs/rails
community.
I'm not sure what the technical hurdles would be... The only thing
that comes to mind is that both rails-emacs and Rinari might want to
export some set of basic functions which can be used by the bundles,
things like `rails-root', or maybe the bundles should be entirely
self-sufficient so that they can be used in the absence of any core
rails minor-mode. Either way I think a standard to which the
rails-bundles conform would be helpful.
I would be happy to put some coding effort into the development of
such a bundle.
