There’s a few pages on the wiki:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToWriteAnActsAsFoxPlugin
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToWriteAnActsAsChickenPlugin

and a few other links (inc topfunky’s guide here:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowTosPlugins

It’s also worth looking at acts_as_taggable code with a copy of Ruby For
Rails

Are act_as_* counted as DSL’s or part of the Rails DSL since it is code
that generates code? Much like attr_accessor.
