In case you haven’t seen it, a few days ago I posted a sample Rails  
application that integrates the open\_id\_authentication and  
restful\_rails plugins to give you a good start at building a OpenID-  
enabled application. Details here:

Thanks Benjamin,  
You’re effort are very much appreciated. I’ve read and studied Rails  
for the last six months and your sample application gave me the  
incentive to actually start building a REAL project!  
My only question is:  
What will be the procedure to maintain the updates to all of the code  
you present in this product? I expect it will be the platform for my  
web apps for many years and would like to make sure it stays  
concurrent with the most recent versions of Rails.  
Thanks, for a fine job Ben.

Well, I guess if there are any updates to the sample app that I will  
post an update to my blog. 🙂
