Marc, if you use the app template you'll have a ready-to-run app as soon as "rails new ..." is done. Submit a GitHub issue [1] if it doesn't work; I'll take a look as soon as I can. You can also clone the repo and use that as your reference implementation. Hundreds of Rails developers have used the app; usually any issues are resolved quickly.

I tried Rails Apps Composer - specifically one of the example apps - https://github.com/RailsApps/rails3-bootstrap-devise-cancan - and it didn't work as advertised. It seems to have added some of the gems to the gemfile, but for others I had to remove them and re-add them and go through setup manually. Specifically, Devise & CanCan. Do these composers just add the gems to the Gemfile then you have to configure each manually? If that's the case, I can do that myself. I was under the impression that these would take you to some 'baseline configuration', then you tweak it from there. E.g. Once I roll it up, I should have a login screen with an admin and 'dummy' user created that I should be able to login with immediately. Some basic authorizations setup, etc. But that's not how it works. Maybe I was expecting too much? If it doesn't do that

Read the rest

though, then what's the point? I even had to re-install the Twitter bootstrap to get it to work.
