After comparing them side by side, I have decided to use <a href="http://github.com/cjbottaro/app_config">the one by Christopher J. Bottaro</a>.</p> <p> It features:</p> <ul> <li> simple YAML config files </li> <li> config files support ERB </li> <li> config files support inheritance </li> <li> access config information via convenient object member notation </li> </ul> <p> I just fixed a bug last night (which was pulled in to the main repository) where it could throw errors when used as a Rails plugin (i.e. via <code class="inline">rails plugin install</code>).</p> <p> Make sure you go <a href="http://github.com/cjbottaro/app_config">read the instructions</a> on how to use this handy plugin.</p> ]]> http://persumi.com/u/fredwu/tech/e/blog/p/rails-use-app-config-for-your-application-specific-configuration
