I've been looking at creating themes for wordpress, but I'm not a fan of PHP. I'd rather use Rails.
Does anyone know of a blogging engine written using Rails?
http://radiantcms.org/

There are a couple of blog engines written using rails. Kalyan M highlighted a few good ones. Here are a couple more for you to consider based upon your needs:
Refinery CMS
I tested this cms before and really like how simple it is to use. In fact, RailsCast did a really nice video on how to install and use this. http://railscasts.com/episodes/332-refinery-cms-basics
Browser CMS
I have not used this before but my fellow non-dev friend who used it really like that it is non-dev friendly.
Locomotive CMS
Radiant CMS
This is one of the oldest Rails cms out there. It has a large amount of extensions contributed by the community and is constantly improving. I would recommend that you test this out.
Good luck!

I once build a webshop in Rails using the Spree framework. This was great since everything I needed for a webshop came out of the box. Now I want to make a website for people who organize dance parties. The site should have information of the new line-up and location, pictures/videos of older parties, and the possibility to buy new tickets.
I hope if you think of something that can be used which is like what Spree is for a webshop but then for the above requirements I would be very happy if you could share it with me.
Thanks for your help.
Rails is a good framework for this.
Meaning I can't think of anything premade to help you accomplish this, but it doesn't sound difficult to do from scratch.

I'm new to Rails, and I'm learning that you could save a lot of time by using the right gems. For example, simple_form is great for making forms, and high_voltage is great for making static pages. I've been reading http://learn-rails.com/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-for-beginners and there seem to be a ton of these gems.
So is there a listing of gems that are useful for making Rails apps? Particularly for beginners. (Also, just a thought, but it would be nice if Rails were structured in such a way where these thing were preinstalled, so you could just learn how to do stuff without searching for the right gems all the time.)
EDIT: I've seen blog posts and stuff, but it would be nice if there was a listing that is both 1) somewhat of a consensus, and 2) updated.
I have found https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/ to be very useful.
They have done a good job of dividing by category, showing last activity, etc.. It is not a list of most popular to least, but thats a tough thing to do since most apps have different requirements.

I'm looking to build a basic Facebook application with Rails. What are the resources (books podcasts, screencasts, blog articles etc) that you'd recommend?
(One answer per post please, and up-vote instead of duplicate).
I realise you're writing a Rails app, but here's a link to a very good, recently produced screencast from Remi showing you how to use Sinatra with the Frankie plugin to make an FB app - http://remi.org/2009/12/31/getting-started-with-facebook-development.html -
Yes I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but it does take you through some of the leg-work on the Facebook side of things, which helps regardless of the programming platform. You could easily port most of it to Rails without having to think too hard about it.

Anyone has any suggestions of a framework to help me create an Igoogle/pageflakes/netvibes like application using ruby on rails.
I tried using apotomo for a few days, but couldn't make it work at all.
If not possible to make using ruby on rails, do u have any suggestions on what to use?
Thanks,
now, try it again! that's for you:

For an iGoogle type portal you might check ExtJS. Here's a sample
http://www.extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples/portal/portal.html
It sounds like you're more interested in back-end than front-end components. There doesn't seem to be publicly available Rails code for keeping track of a user's widgets at the moment, so you will have to make your own. Good thing you already know Rails!

Does anyone know of a good tutorial or application for asking and answering questions for Ruby on Rails, much like this site (although it probably will be for a very different purpose in the end)?
If you're serious about building this application, I can only suggest to just learn Ruby on Rails and build it yourself, instead of looking for a tutorial. There's plenty of great learning material, and assuming you've got a decent understanding of programming in Ruby, Rails is incredibly easy to get started with. As far as books go, Agile Web Development with Rails definitely gets my recommendation.
Either way, the Rails Guides are probably a good first read, It'll help you understand the basics of MVC and how to build a simple Rails app, so you can jump in and start building your own application. If you run into any problems down the road, post your questions here and I'm sure you'll get the answer you're looking for.
Even if tutorials existed for building every kind of application, knowing what's going on and how to architect your application around your specific needs is really important.
