Relevance after seeing the output of Rails scaffolding, realised that they could make something great and the outcome is “Streamlined”.

Streamlined is a framework for rapidly developing CRUD applications using Ruby and Rails. With Streamlined, we are trying to accomplish:

• provide the same declarative ease-of-use to the view layer that ActiveRecord provides for the data layer
• automatically manage relationships in the view layer so that users don't have to keep writing the same relationship management code
• replace the default scaffolding of Rails with more robust, useful and meaningful management screens
• provide a meta-framework which allows you to assimilate different Rails plugins and generators

If you already have a database schema, our intent is to allow you to create a usable, robust, and above all, customizable administrative interface for it in five minutes or less.

The screencast will give you a good feel about the basics. | Streamlined
