A screencast or PDF showing unique techniques and patterns used by Rubyists.

A PDF sequel to the ActiveMerchant book that talks about setting up and processing monthly billings in a secure way that complies with industry regulations.

A screencast or PDF on using memcached to dynamically cache database and rendered content.

A PDF that explores and explains the design and implementation of Rails itself.

Introduction to Erlang

Create a screencast showing how to use selenium on rails and some of the best practices surrounding creating tests

I think the chef documentation is really bad. It would be great if you walked through an example of building a slice and using Chef to bootstrap it.

Show behavior-driven development with bacon on the ramaze framework using sequel and scaffolding_extensions--throw in a little erubis. Serve with thin or ebb. Make the example app generic enough that viewers could repurpose/customize. Authentication, roles, permissions, etc.
