Open Source Ruby Projects *

Question

I have just recently started to study Ruby, and in lieu of Jeff's advice over the weekend...

1. Stop theorizing.
2. Write lots of software.
3. Learn from your mistakes.

...I was interested in honing my skills while helping out the Open Source Community the process so I thought I'd ask if anyone have any suggestions for cool/interesting Open Source Projects written in Ruby that you know of or are involved in.

Answer

Well, you didn't specify Rails, so I'm going to throw Shoes out there. First, building shoes apps is probably the best way to learn Ruby (Rails is great, but I find mastering Ruby far more fun/useful). Secondly, while I certainly don't think building crossplatform UI components is trivial, shoes is relatively new, and relatively small. There are no doubt countless additions that could be made.
