An exemplary Rails 1.x app is Beast, for example. I have always been
able to download it and experiment with it, to try extracurricular
Rails experiments from a good base. Without the burden of writing my
own app (gee, maybe an online forum, for example!).
What's a good example of a public Rails 2.1 app? I suspect Beast does
not do 2.1 yet. Something like a blog, wiki, or dashboard that I could
download, play with, and make an example of?
I've written a rails application in 2.1, and whilst it's probably not your definition of "exemplary" it's an application none the less. http://github.com/radar/rboard
