I know your sposed to scratch your own itch.. but most the gems i use work great! :-P
Thanks..

Read Contributing to Rails and take a look at Github, a lot of gems (including rails) are hosted there, it has a cool issue tracking system so you can fork and start patching :)
Authlogic. It needs to be refactored to use ActiveModel. Also take a look at the feature request at the issue tracker.

I am looking for a ruby on rails wiki application. which i can download and modifiy according to my needs. i tried instiki but is there anything apart from that ? Which has basic formtting and version histories features implemented ?
Thank you
Don't overlook Wagn http://wagn.org/ Quoting Ward Cunningham "The freshest thing in Wiki since I coined the term".
Pretty great as a Wiki and searchable database, and soon to be even more of an OO application platform in its own right.
Ruby Toolbox is the place to go for this. I recommend Gollum for your needs. It is a simple wiki system built on top of Git that powers GitHub Wikis.
Look at Irwi and Perwitiky. Both are inactive now, but Irwi seems to be more up to date and is Rails 3 ready.
I recommend looking at the RubyGems site
Wiki2Go could do the job for you.
FYI: Here are the search results

any advice about how to migrate an app from rails 2.3.8 to rails 3.1?
Should I go from 2.3.8 to 3.0 and then to 3.1?
Let me know your thoughts...
I'm especially interested in the approach to the Gemfile... and bundler. Any resource link would be welcome.
Thanks.
I'd recommend migrating to the latest version of 2.3 (2.3.14) before doing anything. Once you are on 2.3.14 you should run your tests and check your logs for any warnings and fix them. Once any issues are resolved, go ahead and try upgrading to 3.1.1. I think the largest change from 3.0 to 3.1 was the asset pipeline and you can ignore it while upgrading. As for resources, both PeepCode and RailsCasts offer great guides for doing exactly what you want.

I am trying to find a simple poll plugin/gem (the type of single question poll that's usually found in site's sidebar). All plugins that I've found are either too complex (like having their own DSL) or they are out of date (i.e. older than couple years).
Does anyone knows a Rails plugin/gem that handles simple polls?
Have you tried SMeRF, I'm currently using Surveyor and yes it is complicated. So I recommend you to use SMeRF, it is a lot more simple. But I can't seem to make it work on Rails3. xP
What version of Rails are you using?
I ended up writing my own custom solution for a simple poll I needed. Unfortunately, I needed it fast so I wrote it within an app I was working on (i.e. I didn't separate it into gem)

I need to spend some serious time reading about changes in Ruby 1.9.1 and upcoming Rails 3/Merb. Can people suggest any articles to read?
Not really looking for one answer, just kinda looking for a compilation of resources people are using to keep up with what's coming and what currently exists, so if you stop by, let me know what you're looking at. Thanks!
Rails3 is moving really fast. Updates from books or blog entry is not sufficient enough to keep up with the changes that is happening in Rails3. So I would suggest follow Rails in Github instead, although it might seem scary but I found it much more effective.
articles about Rails 3 - Yehuda Katz's blog
Rails 3 in Action looks like a good place to start. There is an early access edition available.
This is helpful for 1.9

The changelogs for the respective facets of Rails is where I get my information from.

So I've been using InstantRails to check out Ruby on rails. I've been using Notepad++ for the editing. Now I don't want to install Ruby or Rails on my machine. Is there any walk through/tutorial on how to integrate Radrails or Netbeans with InstantRails?
Here's a tutorial: http://ruby.meetup.com/73/boards/view/viewthread?thread=2203432
(I don't know if it's any good.)
And here's one with InstantRails+Netbeans: https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044104/http://weblogs.java.net/blog/bleonard/archive/2007/03/instant_rails_w.html
I recommend learning Rails and Ruby itself first, and then picking up something like InstantRails. Having too many layers when learning something new can make it hard to know what features are part of which language, and potentially confuse you when trying to determine where a bug is occurring.
