Doing it right, part 1
Just so I don't just come off as a cantankerous fool, I'm posting about AuthLogic, an authentication plugin for Rails. I haven't used it yet, but looking at their github page it seems apparent that they value decent documentation. Much better than the two-line READMEs that too many projects throw up there.

Rails Forum annoyance
Check it out.
You want to read some Rails goodness at the awesome Rails Forum so you're gonna log in, right? You type in your email address or username, finishing the first of three steps. You aren't my mom, or your grandfather, or any of the other myriad computer users and/or internet logger-inners, so what you don't do after this is reach over for the mouse and click on the password field. We've seen those people, and it's fine for them, but we are power users and possibly even touch-typists. We want to read, we want to help, and we want to get past the login. Without the mouse. So after typing our email address, we hit the Tab key to hop on over to the password field so we can authenticate and be on our way.
Well, maybe.
