Has anyone figured out the best way to white label a Rails app / allow  
an app to be easily globally rebranded e. g. via configuration?

Sure, provide a way for admins to upload a CSS file and support  
subdomains/hostnames to load the correct CSS files. If you need to load  
different data for each one, simply have a table of supported white  
label  
sites/customers and then have a field in each table (indexed) for that  
customer\_id.

Cheers,

Andy
