I'm the principal author of one of these example apps (Insoshi, a social
networking platform developed as part of YC Winter '08). It's a bit out of
date (running on Rails 2.2), but still quite decent. I'm currently working on
a Rails tutorial book that will include a fully up-to-date and (I hope) high-
quality sample Rails app; keep an eye on <http://www.railstutorial.org/> for
more details. You should follow the project on Twitter at
<http://twitter.com/railstutorial> for all the latest news. _Note:_ some major
announcements are coming soon. :-)

These are all pretty good examples.

That being said, I recently spent some time reading through the source of both
Gemcutter.org and RailsDevelopment.com and found both to be very educational
to me personally:

<http://github.com/qrush/gemcutter/>

Aww, thanks :)

These look great. Anyone know any similar examples for Django?

Maybe EveryBlock (considering the source)?

Depending on the audience, maybe. I've not looked at the code, but I know it
has some very specific design assumptions and a number of weird corner cases
baked in which might not make it a good general-purpose example.

It's nice to see some more complex examples with a summary of the plugins and
related technologies.

But mainly I'm commenting to be able to find this easily later. It's a shame
HN doesn't have a save link option.

I believe simply up voting moves it into your Saved list.
