Just released two new Rails plugins for apps using MongoMapper: acts_as_mongo_rateable
adds classic rating support plus weighted rates and bayesian averages... and acts_as_mongo_taggable adds standard tagging functionality with some roundup and statistics methods to help build tag clouds and ranked lists. Both have pretty thorough tests, but there are still likely bugs to shake out. Please fork, contribute, and send pull requests if you fix bugs, improve performance, or add new stuff.

I just added my first plugin ar_enumerations which allows to use "enumeration" field in your AR models.

I hope this plugin will be useful for you too.

This is an ActiveRecord plugin that makes it easier to do reporting. The latest version includes several new features, the most important of which is support for caching! Check it out here.
Temping allows for the creation of temporary table-backed ActiveRecord models for use in tests. This is useful when writing ActiveRecord-extending plugins or for testing modules separate from their concrete implementations. The syntax for creating a model allows for any method call that can occur in a standard ActiveRecord::Base Model:
create_model :tests do
with_columns do |t|
t.string :test_string
end
validates_presence_of :test_string
