ExtJS and Rails examples

There seem to be some efforts regarding plugins for Rails and Ext JS.
Here are the ones I know of:
* Toolbawks Ext (seems to be an installation helper):
http://svn.toolbawks.com/toolbawks_extjs/trunk/INSTALL
* Ext plugin (providing controller methods to generate Ext components
- not sure whether this is being actively developed, support for Ext
2.0 seems to be coming in the future?): http://wota.jp/ac/?date=20070406
* An "Experiment" providing Rails helpers for Ext JS, looks abandoned
as code is no longer around: http://extonrails.com/

I recently played with Ext and Rails myself and documented the effort
here:
http://inside.glnetworks.de/2008/01/08/ext-js-and-rails-how-do-they-get-along/

This demonstrates basic solutions for Rails integration and features a
"soon-to-be-announced" Ext Scaffold Generator plugin for Rails - a
preview version is available on Rubyforge: http://rug-b.rubyforge.org/svn/ext_scaffold

This site is mine. I wrote a rather extensive ruby wrapper framework
for Ext1.0 which I scrapped when Ext2.0 was released. new features,
especially improved component-based architecture and better rendering
rendered my framework obsolete. I've since changed my pattern somewhat
but I've recently teamed up with another guy from
http://www.extjswithrails.com and I've been working on my own blog
lately and created a few new google code projects.
