I’ve been learning Ruby and Rails in the last year or so.  
I am thinking about joining an open source project and start  
contributing.  
Which project would you recommend? Why?  
Any help is appreciated.

Try this site.

Its a nice write up of a bunch of Open Source RoR projects. The Spree  
project (which I run) is always looking for volunteers as well. IMO  
working on an open source project is an excellent way to learn more  
about a technology.

Good Luck

Sean
