Hi:

I am new to Engines just exploring things… I wonder if any one would  
help me a bit…

1. Is there any Engine List? i.e. all currently available engines? I  
couldn’t find it in [rails-engine.org](http://rails-engine.org) website.
2. Now that the latest engine code is not 1.1.6 compatible does that  
mean the login-engine and user-engine is out of sync with current trunk?  
i.e. I need to have 1.1.6 rails to run…
3. Is there any admin-engine?

Thanks for your help.

James has decided (or finally articulated the view he’s had all along)  
that prebuilt engines are not the point of the Engines framework and  
that any Engines out there, even the ones hosted, promoted and  
documented on [rails-engies.org](http://rails-engies.org) during the past year or so, are just for  
demonstration and learning purposes and can lose support without notice.  
The point of Engines is to share your own Engines between your own  
applications.

As someone foolish enough to deploy two apps that use LoginEngine and  
suddenly faced with writing my own replacement auth system before I can  
migrate them to Rails 1.2, I would be wary of using any prebuilt Engines  
for a real application, nifty as they and the Engines concept may be.
