App Plugins

[Douglas Livingstone]

Does anyone have an example of a Ruby application which can accept
plugin modules? (Via uploading a zip or text file to the site.)

Cheers,
Douglas

tDiary and FreeRide.

The conversion routines in Ruwiki are also based on plugins; as are
the language files for Text::Hyphen.

FreeRIDE is 100% plugin based. It has a reusable plugin framework called
FreeBase that we intend (someday) to package up as an independent RubyForge
project. Rich Kilmer has used it in some projects for his clients and, of
course, FreeRIDE is built on top of it.

For more info, see:

In Alexandria (http://alexandria.rubyforge.org), providers are kind of
pluggins (though it is not possible to install them at runtime yet).
