Okay, my earlier problem with missing rake tasks appears to have been an  
error on my part in my svn:externals property settings, which could  
probably stand to be better documented for the most common real-world  
case of installing the plugin and a couple of engines at the same time.  
So now, finally armed with the db:migrate:engines task, my database is  
set up.

However, when I try “rake bootstrap” I get the following error (trace  
shown).

Is there a new, namespaced rake task I’m supposed to be using?

Also, is it bad if I put the module configs in  
environments/development.rb, etc. instead of environment.rb? I can’t  
imagine I’m the only developer who wants different mailer and  
default-admin-user settings for dev and production.

I’ll be happy to update the installation instructions in the READMEs  
that everyone’s been begging for, but first I have to get the thing  
working. 😉

Thanks much.
