I think Matt and Loren's cases are more about a tighter integration
between Radiant and the host application, including reusing Radiant
pages, layouts, and snippets in Rails. If you just want to add some
content management to an existing Rails application, there's always the
Comatose plugin, which has been around for a while and is probably
better suited to that scenario.
