Acts as Configurable
I wanted to add the ability to have config settings for a site. I also needed some settings for a user, and a group, and... you get the picture. I didn't want to keep adding has_something associations (has_one :profile, has_one :set_of_vital_stats) and I didn't want to keep mucking into the model db structure for everything. Well, I figured that everything could have it's own settings. But then, why stop there. Maybe a user should have settings in relation only to a single group and another set for another group, or a post, or whatever.

Nice plugin but missing 1 piece of documentation for installation: http://blog.cbciweb.com/articles/2007/09/18/acs_as_configurable_mysql_error

Is there a reason why this plugin uses a proxy object & does it's own serialization instead of using a serializes attribute?
It makes it unusable for anything that doesn't coerce transparently to & from a string (for example, booleans) without calling setting.send(:value).
for example: obj.setting(:bob) = false
!obj.setting(:bob) >> false # uh-huh
obj.setting(:bob).class >> FalseClass #because the ProxySetting fakes out class
obj.setting(:bob) == false >> false # nice.
obj.setting(:bob).send(:value) == false >> true

The domain for this plugin's svn repository appears to be dead/parked. Has it moved?

The SVN repo still is down. Seems like a dead project.
