RSpec and CanCan Authorization for Intentional Economics
Not long after moving the Austin Time Exchange to Ruby on Rails, we started receiving requests for a groups feature since some local groups were interested in having their own currency but did not want to run their own instance of the software and their members were already on the existing system.
