Please recommend me some rails/ruby open source code that needs documentation/tests written

I've been using ruby on rails for the last 4 months or so and I've been really enjoying the whole concept of open source. I know it's not exclusive to ruby/rails but coming from windows programming this is my first real exposure to it.

I want to "give back" what I can but I don't feel like I can contribute any worthwhile open source projects or gems of my own. So I figured a good place to start is by documenting or writing tests for some existing projects.

Could you guys please point me to a few possible options? I'd prefer projects that are pretty active but at the same time not too complex (since I'm not very good with ruby right now).

This might be a subjective question but at this point I have no idea where to even start. So even subjective answers would be much appreciated.

You are doing a great thing for the Rails community. +1 to you!

I'm also new to rails. I can tell you I had a difficult time learning the ins and outs of aweseome_nested_set because of no examples. The readme lacked any real use case examples such as building an entire tree, outputting the first and second level only, etc.

Although it could be that I am new and was not around for acts_as_nested_set to learn the fundamentals of that plugin (which awesome_nested_set is built on, I believe)
