ActiveMessaging by Andrew Kuklewicz (kookster) in Utilities, Toolkits, and Miscellaneous
ActiveMessaging is an attempt to bring the simplicity and elegance of rails development to the world of messaging. Messaging, (or event-driven architecture) is widely used for enterprise integration, with frameworks such as Java's JMS, and products such as ActiveMQ, Tibco, IBM MQSeries, etc. ActiveMessaging is a generic framework to ease using messaging, but is not tied to any particular messaging system - in fact, it now has support for Stomp, JMS (using StompConnect or direct on JRuby), WebSphere MQ, Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS), and the all Ruby ReliableMessaging.

SimplySearchable by Rida Al Barazi (rbarazi) in Utilities, Toolkits, and Miscellaneous
The main goal of SimplySearchable is to help you create a clean url to search in your controller and model. This plugin adds a method to the controller named “search” that will find and filter the model data smartly from the search fields defined in its calling line SimplySearchable recognizes three types of filters: 1. Exact values: like the title in the example above (acts_as_ferret implementation to come soon) 2. Belongs to associations: for those fields that ends with _id, like author_id in the example above 3. Has many association: for those fields that are in plural form, like comments in the example above
