Hi,

In the routes.rb Typo file (readable at:  
[http://svn.typosphere.org/typo/branches/rails2/config/routes.rb](http://svn.typosphere.org/typo/branches/rails2/config/routes.rb)) we can  
see those line:

map.inflected\_resource(:authors, :path\_prefix =\> ‘/articles’)  
map.inflected\_resource(:categories, :path\_prefix =\> ‘/articles’)  
map.inflected\_resource(:tags, :path\_prefix =\> ‘/articles’)

Do you know the goal of them?

Thanks
