We, at Plataformatec, just released two new open source tools: has_scope and responders, both extracted from Inherited Resources. has_scope allows you to quickly map controller parameters to named_scopes and responders is a repository of Rails 3 responders, which can already be used within Inherited Resources. As conclusion of this refactoring, Inherited Resources finally reaches 1.0. Read the blog post to catch up all changes.
