Hi !

I am refactoring a big project (rails 1.1) and would like to see some  
inspiration from a well designed rails application using REST (rails  
1.2).

Many thanks for any recommendations.

Gaspard

Anyone knows any open source rails restful application ?

Mephisto is not.

Typo is not.

Anything ?
