Hi all,

I wrote the original acts_as_nested_set over a weekend it looks like  
2.5 years ago[1] and then sort of fell off the face of the earth.  No  
one else has touched it as far as I can see and people seemed to have  
missed how to use the :scope parameter.  Next time I guess I should  
have more documentation, though I do enjoy that my little ASCII  
diagram as made it around!  I have need for it again and the core for  
original reason that I needed it is long gone and for rails 0.9  
anyway.  So I've been looking to see whats out there and there's  
acts_as_threaded and betternestedset.  I can't seem to find  
acts_as_threaded (the url doesn't work?).

My question is do we need to have two plugins for this?  What exactly  
is better about BetterNestedSet?  (I'm curious.  The move_to_child_of  
seems more complicated to me than just saying o.add_child, but having  
access to the level seems nice.)

Anyway, acts_as_nested_set has been moved to an official plugin at
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/plugins/acts_as_nested_set
and it seems to me that it would be easier for everyone if we just  
merged the two somehow.
