Hello,

I have kicked off a new Rails Plugin of the Week series with the  
annotate-models gem.

What’s annotate-models? The annotate-models gem lets you annotate  
your ActiveRecord models with a comment block listing all the records’  
fields and data types pulled from the database table schema in the  
Ruby source code.

More @ [http://rubybook.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/annotate-models](http://rubybook.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/annotate-models)

Any Rails plugins or gems you want to see highlighted in the new  
series? Post your recommendations to this list (or send them along in  
private mail if you prefer).

```
Cheers.

```
