So many plugins, so little Time.

Started looking at some Rails plugins on Ruby Lodge last night.  Damn there are too many plugins out there which are interesting.

Schema Definition works similarly to auto-migrations except it actually builds the migration files for you.

Spider Test is an integration test spider which tests all of your page links.

Tarantula tries to break your site with crap form field filling.

Rails Spread is a Ruby messaging bus.

Sliding Session Timeout pushes your session timeout later after each page hit. (ie: its always 30 minutes after your last request)

Benchmark for Rails allows you to benchmark arbitrary methods in your application (like link_to)

Maintenance Server hooks you up with a light app server while your main Rails application is being tweaked by the server monkeys.

Here are a few gems.

MOle tracks user interactions (uses the DB, so not sure about performance)

RScribd is a Ruby library for communicating with Scribd

Anyone have experience with these?  Are they any good?  Why don’t we have a review site for Ruby libraries?  Or code libraries for that matter?

Hmm….
