Ask HN: What is the best open source Rails project to learn from?

8 pointsanthonycerra2 comments

What's the best open source Rails project for a noob to study? I've made the Depot app from PragProg, the Twitter app by Hartl, and went through Rails for Zombies. Now I want to study actual living, breathing apps. Any recommendations? Thanks

[Note: I did a search on Google and saw an exact post like this, but it's almost 200 days old.]

Browse around github for a bit.

https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora https://github.com/railsdog/spree https://github.com/michaeldv/fat_free_crm https://github.com/resolve/refinerycms

Go to: http://www.opensourcerails.com/

They have a number of rails projects, including redmine, fatfreecrm, refinery, etc... that are quality projects from which you can learn.
