I'm currently in the early stages of building a rails app that would
greatly benefit from using Class-Table Inheritance instead of STI. I
see there is a plugin to extend activerecord to handle this:
Unfortunately the URL to the plugin's repository is broken along with
the home page link too (I have emailed author but not heard back as
yet). I'm on a very tight deadline for this project. Does anyone have
the plugin code installed in a project? Could anyone send it to me?

If you're using PostgreSQL, you can try my class table inheritance plugin from
svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/clti/plugins/class_table_inheritance
It doesn't have inherits_from limitations - inherited column validation/error
handling and find_by_ on inherited column work. The only inconvenience is that
you must manually set_table_name for inheritance classes. It's still in alpha
status because performance was not tested - unit tests are available though and
all pass.
