David A. Black is releasing a new book entitled Ruby for Rails: Ruby Techniques for Rails Developers, which will help you take your Ruby skills to the next level of zen while working within the Rails framework. He writes, "Ruby for Rails helps Rails developers achieve Ruby mastery. Each chapter deepens your Ruby knowledge and shows you how it connects to Rails. You’ll gain confidence working with objects and classes and learn how to leverage Ruby’s elegant, expressive syntax for Rails application power. And you'll become a better Rails developer through a deep understanding of the design of Rails itself and how to take advantage of it."

RadiantCMS Page Management Interface
John W. Long at Wiseheart Design
has announced a new content management system written in Ruby on Rails. Radiant CMS is a "no-fluff, open source content management system designed
for small teams. It is similar to Textpattern or MovableType, but is a
general purpose content management system (not a blogging engine)." Notable features include:
- An elegant user interface
- Flexible templating with layouts, snippets, page parts, and a custom tagging language (Radius)
- Development and Production modes, depending on URL used to access the application
- Extensible with special page-oriented plugins called behaviors
- Support for Markdown and Textile as well as traditional HTML, with support for other filters
- A Simple user management/rights system
John also writes that Radiant CMS will be used to power ruby-lang.org when it has been adequately tested.
