I've set up the PetStore project on rubyforge.org: 

  rubyforge.org/projects/petstore

Indeed, it's also good to demonstrate the quality of the different data
modelling libraries (SDS, TapKit, ActiveRecords, Madeleine, pure SQL
etc.).

Everyone interested in contributing to the data-model code or the
web-application is welcome. Very nice would be to document each step
done during the development.
