Sadly, whenever you try to suggest a project you get the message :

>Project suggestions are currently under maintenance and are disabled. They will be back with a vengeance soon!

But it has been this way for a long time (check out the comments below on this blog post : https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/blog/2012/07/18/State_of_the_To... ). I wish either he would take some help and ship the "improved" suggestions feature.

Ruby Toolbox is a great source. I think opensourcerails.com has an equal and opposite value. Often times it is difficult to visualize how all of the tools fit together, before you start. Having a site where you can look through an open source fully functional site and figure out which tools were used to create it is helpful, for the beginner.

I wish something like this existed for everything. It's incredibly easy to get left behind and just not know what is out there.

Agreed, I love this site! Great place to search for any and all rubygems and libraries.
