I am trying to incorporate a blog, a wiki, and bug tracking all into  
my Rails webapp. Mephisto recommends starting with their whole app  
and making certain pages static content, but this only takes care of  
the blog part.

Essentially, my problem is not with Rails, but with the fact that all  
of these other applications have no way of integrating with the  
authentication, authorization, and session control in Rails. (Trac  
may be even more difficult to integrate than Mephisto and any given  
Rails-based app.)

Essentially, my question is: has anybody done single sign on work?  
Considered ways to use the same stylesheets and layouts for more than  
one project?
