      script/generate opensteam_product ProductName [column:type]

      script/generate opensteam_property PropertyName [column:type]

Flexibility in Products

create new Product-Models with a generator
associate Products to Properties (a "Shirt" has_many "Colors")
give the Product a price and a storage-quantity
give specific configurations a price and a storage-quantity (a "blue-Shirt" is more expensive than a "yellow-Shirt")
mark specific configurations as "Not-Active" or "Back-Ordered"
