textile_toolbar by Matthew Bass

Searchlogic by binarylogic

Paperclip by Jon Yurek
Paperclip is intended as an easy file attachment library for ActiveRecord. The intent behind it was to keep setup as easy as possible and to treat files as much like other attributes as possible. This means they aren’t saved to their final locations on disk, nor are they deleted if set to nil, until ActiveRecord::Base#save is called. It manages validations based on size and presence, if required. It can transform its assigned image into thumbnails if needed, and the prerequisites are as simple as installing ImageMagick (which, for most modern Unix-based systems, is as easy as installing the right packages). Attached files are saved to the filesystem and referenced in the browser by an easily understandable specification, which has sensible and useful defaults.
Shoulda by Thoughtbot, inc.
The Shoulda gem makes it easy to write elegant, understandable, and maintainable Ruby tests. Shoulda consists of test macros, assertions, and helpers added on to the Test::Unit framework. It’s fully compatible with your existing tests, and requires no retooling to use.

Although the obvious use of this is for chat, the most exciting prospect is collaborative cms and wikis.
is_taggable by Giraffesoft
Simple tagging implementation
WeeklyBuilder by Dan McGrady (dmix)
A weekly calendar builder for ruby on rails. Although there are countless monthly calendars on Github I couldn't find any with a weekly view, so I built my own. The calendar is horizontally scrolling with a completely fluid CSS layout and an option for business/24 hours. Weekly views are useful because the events are plotted based on time and the width is determined by how long the event is scheduled for. So there is a visual representation of when the event is, not just a list. The code is inspired by P8s table_builder which I recommend for monthly calendars.

paginating_find by Anonymous

After you've got the plugin installed, you can use it to transparently load batches of model objects using just one call to the #find method. It's equally easy to use the plugin for stepping through data via your app's UI, or loading large numbers of model instances little-by-little, to avoid consuming a ton of memory.
