Hello everyone,
I just wanted to introduce Ansuz (a rails-based Content Management System, sort of aiming for the wordpress-y space for the rails jet set). It's BSD licensed, and you can find it at http://www.ansuzcms.com or GitHub - knewter/ansuz: Open source Rails based content management that works.. There was an article in the 2008 Advent Calendar about it, and Akita mentioned it once in his blog, but other than that I don't believe it's received any visibility whatsoever.
It does have extensive plugin support using engines, theming capabilities thanks to theme_support (as well as a way to install themes from the master theme repository at ansuzcms.com from within the admin interface). It also has a crowdsound widget in the admin, so anyone using it ever can just easily report issues or feature suggestions. We've got a lighthouse if you find a bug, also linked from within the admin interface. I'm constantly sitting in #ansuz on FreeNode, as well as some other users and developers, available for support / to compliment your haircut. I'll talk you through installing it, whatev.
It's been successfully run in a host of environments, my ubuntu/mysql to Lex's AIX/DB2, on the mac, and I think windows (shudder). It currently hosts the ansuzcms.com site as well as my company's site at http://www.isotope11.com. If anyone ever wants to talk about it or learn how parts of it work, or be walked through it step by step, or whatever...we're here It's got a decent number of plugins as well.
Anyway, hoping some people will join in the development. Have a happy new year's.

PS - at first I sent this to the really old rails mailing list that's been dead for two years-ish. Oops.
