I’m looking for advice about packaging a gem that runs as a rails  
app. The rails app that I’m interested in is iClassify. As as  
starting point, I’m soliciting nominees for good examples of gems that  
are meant to run as rails apps, not just gems that add functionality a  
bit of functionality to a rails app. I would like to look at how the  
packager created the gem, and try to duplicate their effort.

Any other advice, would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,  
Chad A.
