Hi,

I’m new to Rails. I’d like to try popular plugins to learn more about  
Rails.

Here’s the list for now.

- Exception Notification
- Login Engine
- acts\_as\_taggable
- acts\_as\_versioned
- acts\_as\_ferret
- restful\_authentication
- attachment fo
- validation\_reflection

Is there anything I’m missing?

err, that’s attachment\_fu…

and I like annotate\_models, to give me a clue in the model what all the  
fields are… its a terrible thing getting old, you forget what your  
last migration did.

I’m not sure plugins will help you to learn more about Rails, though.
