Standup 11/13/2008: ActiveScaffold and Object Mothers

- ActiveScaffold was surprisingly easy to use for admin interfaces. One possible gotcha is that you have to manually configure namespaced RESTful routes (e.g.
map.resources :tasks, :active_scaffold => true).

"What are your current favorite Object Mother implementations or patterns?"
There are several approaches:
- Factories-and-Workers
- Object Daddy
- Roll Your Own - Your Object Mother will likely be so domain specific that you should just write it from scratch.
