I have an existing Rails internal app, that handles inventory, invoicing, order taking, labeling, data imports/exports, etc, etc.

Now I need to add blog, cms, forum and wiki functionality to it. It seems silly to try to roll out my own solutions when there are already some out there. So I was wondering if people could recommend based on their experience:

  • Are there good plugins out there? (Which ones you had experience with?)
  • Would you rather recommend to go the route of engines, and integrate RadiantCMS or similar apps? (please provide recommendations based on your integration experience)
  • Or would you just bite the bullet and roll out your own?

Thank you.

P.S.: Right now the app is Rails 2.3, but it will get upgraded to Rail 3 in a year, when most gems/plugins that it depends on will be Rails 3 compatible.
