New months always hold so much promise.
- Warehouse -"A Web-based subversion browser that doesn't suck."
- Garbage Collection Slides from LA Ruby Conference - A good intro to a tough ruby topic, with pointers to some useful utilities.
- Great CS Program for GIrls Needs Funding - Another good cause that could use some of your hard-earned dollars.
- Using Sinatra to test remote services in Rails - Another testing idea from Elad Meidar.
- Canable: The Flesh Eating Permission System - John Nunemaker's take on authorization. Looks fairly similar to the way I've been handling it recently.
- rails_indexes - I think I mentioned this plugin for finding missing indexes before, but it came in handy this weekend so I'm mentioning it again.
- Support Details - A way to quickly query a user's machine for things like OS, Browser, IP address, and color depth.
- Migrations with Mongo (and MongoMapper) - Otherwise known as "mongrations".

Re: rails indexing, you might want to consider checking out my plugin: http://github.com/samdanavia/ambitious_query_indexer
Rather than looking at the tables and guessing indexes, it locates finders in Rails code, runs queries and sees what indexes are actually needed for the queries that the code contains.
I wrote it a while ago and haven't given it much love since, so I'm eager for feedback :)
