Rails 3 Engine providing forum. Not working for now ;-)

Assumptions for first(test) release:

• application is Rails 3.1 based
• application have Devise-generated model User and are using current_user method
• user rights are handled by Cancan gem(this will be generalized later but for now we need some model-based user rights)
• application don't need to overwrite any part of engine(model, view or controller)
• engine should contain simple layouts, but nothing fancy(usually user will overwrite that)
• engine should handle:
  • forum(single-level - subforums should be postponed for later versions)
  • topic
  • post

Target configuration:

• 'User' role can be handled by any model that will include 'acts_as_forum_user' method
• Rights can be handled by any model-based solution - this should be configurable what rights have which user
• Views and controllers can be extracted and modified by application(like in Devise)
