Miscellaneous Plugins
ActiveMessaging by Andrew Kuklewicz (kookster) in Utilities, Toolkits, and Miscellaneous
ActiveMessaging is an attempt to bring the simplicity and elegance of rails development to the world of messaging. Messaging, (or event-driven architecture) is widely used for enterprise integration, with frameworks such as Java's JMS, and products such as ActiveMQ, Tibco, IBM MQSeries, etc. ActiveMessaging is a generic framework to ease using messaging, but is not tied to any particular messaging system - in fact, it now has support for Stomp, JMS (using StompConnect or direct on JRuby), WebSphere MQ, Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS), and the all Ruby ReliableMessaging.

custom_field_error by Michael Boutros (Michael Boutros) in HTML Helpers, ActiveRecord, and Miscellaneous
custom_field_error allows you to easily setup custom HTML to be displayed when there is a validation issue with a form. You can setup a different view for every model, or setup a view in one model and have that view be used as the default for all the other models. You can also explicitly override the default view you have chosen by defining another view within another model. Last but not least, you can choose to leave the Rails default view for whatever models you want. It sounds like a lot, but I promise: it's dead simple.

Friendly Identifier by Nick Zadrozny (nzadrozny) in Utilities, ActiveRecord, and Miscellaneous
It's nice to have human-readable identifiers in your URLs, but can be a bit of a pain to get just right. This plugin provides a single command that parses out a nice permalink, overrides to_param and even overrides find so you can start using friendly urls right away! This isn't the end-all permalink plugin, but it's an excellent time- and code-saver for small, restful apps.
