We’re currently looking for volunteers on the new RailsCart[1]  
project. The idea is to build something relatively simple with all of  
the features that most open source shopping carts seem to be missing.  
We’ll be using ActiveMerchant for all of our payment gateway needs.  
We’re not trying to build the ultimate shopping cart. This is  
designed for Rails developers who need to slide a shopping cart into  
their websites. The project is still evolving so feel free to drop by  
our mailing list[2] and contribute to the discussion. Some of our  
contributors are tied up with outside work so we could use an infusion  
of coding talent.

Before you get going you might want to take a look at David Black’s Ruby  
for  
Rails Chapter 16 includes a working Cart application.
