I think this may be of interest to Radiant folks:

Hi Ryan,

Could you enlighten us a little bit in what ways this could be  
beneficial for Radiant?  
I thought Radiant was tightly build on Rails. Or are you referring to  
ideas that can be copied?

Regards,  
Erik.

Yes, but it’s lightweight by design, and the port would likely be pretty  
straightforward.

Or are you referring to

That too. I love the idea of creating some software that gets mounted at  
a  
URL location and then owns the URL space beneath. And creating a way to  
do  
that that’s expressly designed to support different mini-apps at those  
locations…yum.

Sure sounds like the kind of thing I’ve heard a lot on this list: how to  
mix  
and match different packages on the same Rails app.
