I'm going to be using Convertible to CSV in my project. It is available as both a plugin and a gem. Which is the preferred format? The plugin seems more straight forward than having to install and freeze the gem. Are there disadvantages to the plugin?

Hi there - the gem and the plugin should have essentially the same code. The plugin is usually easier to install yourself on a shared server so I would recommend that.
[~/railsapp]# ./script/plugin install plugin_name
[~/railsapp]# ./script/plugin install plugin_name
