When Should I Quiet Your Spirit?

I can do it right now, but then, you may be expecting it. I could do it in your sleep, but I most likely won't hear your terrified gasp as you slip away into the next realm. Or, I could do it to you when you are walking down the street, though there may be others watching and then I'd have to silence them too.

Does CE play well with other plugins?

I notice CE has a collection of pretty popular plugins under the hood. Are these plugins fairly easily "swappable" with other plugin solutions, or will CE not work right, or require a lot of hacking, without the included plugins?? For example, I'm not sure what type of authentication CE uses...so what if we went with the popular "restful-authentication" plugin from technoweenie? Does CE play well with other plugin solutions or is it not really recommended?...

Hacking CommunityEngine?

Hey guys, just wanted to get opinions from the experts here.  I'm in the process of creating a pretty customized social network website. Should I just build it from the ground up on RoR, or should I actually start with something like CommunityEngine as a base? Does CommunityEngine only work like how it's built and you throw themes on top of it, or is it meant as a starting base of features that is totally...
