One of the great things about Rails is the ability to write and use plugins, which allow the abstraction of repeated code and re-use of code that other people have written.

We have certainly benefited from plugins in our Rails development, using some really useful plugins like acts_as_commentable, attachment_fu and asset_packager

Therefore, when we found ourselves writing repetitive code to add tasks to various objects (like people, projects etc.) in exxitplan (our latest product), I decided to abstract all of that into a plugin called acts_as_taskable. It is a blatant rip-off of the excellent acts_as_* plugins that come before it (in fact, we just did a find + replace to come up with this plugin), so people should be familiar with it.

Without much further ado, I give you acts_as_taskable.
