[Radiant] Authentication again

[Dan and Norine Simpson]

The coincidence of this thread about 'community-portal' use case and this
post (Community Engine - Rails Plugin That Adds Social Networking To Your
App)<http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/RubyInside/%7E3/297043164/community-engine-rails-plugin-that-adds-social-networking-to-your-app-901.html>at
Ruby Inside prompt me to ask: does Radiant plays well with rails
plugins?  I recall something about differences in the file structures
creating incompatibilities.

peace,
dan
