They exist.  They may not be publically released, but they exist.

I have one.  I have a bunch of legacy users who are on an old one written in 
Perl.  I have been converting it to Ruby with IOWA so that I could add new 
features and generally make it better.  It's not really something I plan to 
release, though, in part because the conversion is only 1/2 done.  Parts in 
still Perl, and in part because even though it is in Ruby on a good 
framework, it's still just a conversion and enhancement on a system that 
won't win any awards for beauty or elegance.

Paul Vudmaska (paul, are you still lurking?) has a nice looking system that 
he created for a bunch of his clients.  It's done directly with 
mod_ruby/eruby without the benefit of any other framework.  That one is, or 
was, publically available at some version.  If Paul isn't listening, I'll 
see if I can find out what the state of that is and report back.
