I saw a posting here recently about “The well tempered Ruby application”  
([http://rubyforge.org/projects/hello/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/hello/)), an example/template project that  
demonstrates standards and best practices for structuring your Ruby  
project. Things like a rakefile, rdoc comments, layout of  
subdirectories, etc. I think this is a beautiful idea, and one that I  
would love to study once it’s closer to being done.

In the meantime, can anyone recommend one or more RubyForge projects  
that are well-thought-of in the Ruby community, in terms of structure,  
professionalism, and so on?
