This has been discussed before, and while eating your own dog food is 
strongly encouraged, there are certain practical aspects.  Ruby versions 
of mailman or gforge would be sweet, but I'd rather see people spend 
time breaking new ground or filling current needs where there are no 
suitable applications.

I believe, though, that the perl-based wiki will be replaced with a Ruby 
one before too long.
