Has anyone played around with [http://api.pluginaweek.org/mini\_radiant/](http://api.pluginaweek.org/mini_radiant/)?

It sounds like a great idea - and it seems like it would make it a lot  
easier to port existing rails apps - something like:

- piston all of the plugins
- update some configs to fix the load order
- run some migrations

On my end, the fact that everything in radiant has to be an extension  
is proving very tough for me. I have 10+ plugins in each of my rails  
apps, and loading them into radiant is a chore - and if any other  
extensions ever use similar plugins, it seems like it could cause  
trouble.

I’ve spent a while now trying to learn extensions, so I don’t really  
want to make the switch unless it really makes sense. Anyone have any  
feedback on the mini-radiant?
