Acts as Ferret by Jens Kraemer in ActiveRecord Gem Available!
Acts_as_ferret is a plugin for Ruby on Rails which makes it simple to implement full text search for Rails. It builds on Ferret which is a ruby port of Apache Lucene. It is a technology suitable for nearly any application that requires full-text search.

Acts As Readonlyable by Val Aleksenko (muzzy) in ActiveRecord Gem Available!
ActsAsReadonlyable adds support of multiple read-only slave databases to ActiveRecord models. When a model is marked with acts_as_readonlyable, some of AR finders are overridden to run against a slave DB. The supported finders are find, find_by_sql, count_by_sql, find_[all_]by_*, and reload. Finders can be forced to fall back to a default DB by passing the :readonly flag set to false.
Acts As Restorable by Mark Chadwick (markchadwick) in ActiveRecord
Allows for records to be serialized and removed from the database on deletion. Deleted records can then be imported back into the database. Consider it a slightly cleaner version of acts_as_paranoid
Acts As Secure by Val Aleksenko (muzzy) in Security & Protection and ActiveRecord Gem Available!
ActsAsSecure adds an ability to store ActiveRecord model's fields encrypted in a DB. When a model is marked with acts_as_secure, the :binary type fields are recognized as needed to be stored encrypted. The plugin does before_save/after_save/after_find encryption/decryption thus making it transparent for a code using secured models. The plugin supports a master key approach as well as individual records encryption keys. It does not contain any crypto provider but allows to plug in any external one as long as it supports encrypt/decrypt methods.

acts_as_slugable by Alex Dunae (Alex) in Utilities and ActiveRecord
Generates a URL slug based on a specific fields (e.g. title). A url slug is a string derived from a specific field which can the be used in a URL. For instance, a page with the title <tt>My page</tt> would have a URL slug of <tt>my-page</tt>. The slug is generated on save and create actions. If the field has an existing URL slug (like when editing an existing record) the URL slug is preserved. URL slugs are unique within the specified scope (or all records if no scope is defined). If the slug already exists within the scope, <tt>-n</tt> is added (e.g. <tt>my-page-0</tt>, <tt>my-page-1</tt>, etc...

custom_field_error by Michael Boutros (Michael Boutros) in HTML Helpers, ActiveRecord, and Miscellaneous
custom_field_error allows you to easily setup custom HTML to be displayed when there is a validation issue with a form. You can setup a different view for every model, or setup a view in one model and have that view be used as the default for all the other models. You can also explicitly override the default view you have chosen by defining another view within another model. Last but not least, you can choose to leave the Rails default view for whatever models you want. It sounds like a lot, but I promise: it's dead simple.
