Hi,

I have requirement where in I need to integrate one rails application  
into another.

We have two dashboards developed in RoR. Now, we are thinking of  
integrating one into another.  
We r thinking of migrating one of the dashboard entirely into another  
i.e. along with its configs, routes, plug-ins used (required plug-ins  
could be easily installed) and the last and the most important thing  
is the database.

Please let me know what would be the best approach for doing this  
integration. If there are some tools for doings this, however the  
possibility are not quiet good.

Any thoughts and suggestion will be appreciable.

Thanks,  
Sandy
