I wanted Rails to support namespaced models even better that it does  
today. So I wrote a patch that will make Rails generators support  
namespaced models. You could e.g. script/generate scaffold Animal::Dog  
and get fullly working (namepaced) web interface, test cases and  
fixtures. I also changed the table name convention (e.g. animal\_dog).

I wrote a blog entry and ticket (including the patch) to Rails  
Lighthouse. Enjoy (the summer 🙂
