When will you upgrade your apps to rails3 ?
I am wondering when and, more important, how the first larger applications will be ported to rails3. When I check my largest and most important project, I see a lot of gems and plugins which are not yet supported. For some of them there is not even the slightest note on any progress towards rails3 compatibility. I know, as a good citizen of the open source community, I should help and update them...

will_paginate 3.0 pre renderer
Probably one of the most used RubyOnRails extensions will use the rails 3 upgrade to introduce some major internal changes as well. Just in case you have implemented your own renderer which inherits from WillPaginate::LinkRenderer, be prepared to update your code. Apart from the fact that the namespace changed to WillPaginate::ViewHelpers::LinkRenderer, the implemented methods and names changed as...

rails: as_json vs. to_json
I completly missed the introduction of as_json in rails 2.3.3. And I think I am not the only one, as the there are not many posts about that topic out there.

Three days later I started a project from scratch and directly jumped on the rails3 wagon. And I think I was instantly hooked. Man, this baby is sooooo much fun. Not only gem dependencies are finally working, but ActiveRecord with Arel is just...

Your rails 2.3.5 app behaves strange after...
If your 2.3.5 start behaving strangely after installing rails3beta, it might be due to the I18n gem. Previous versions of rails came with an older packed version which was automatically loaded. Now with rails3 and 2.3.5 already, you can actually install the newer I18n gem yourself (and it actually gets loaded). So here is what you might wanna do:
Update your application to work with the new I18n...

PivotalTracker integration for GitX
Too bad that GitX is not written in MacRuby. Otherwise I would give a PivotalTracker integration a try. Or is there a custom build in the network which already has this kind of feature? This would be so sweet!
SmartFoxServer and RubyOnRails
Just in case that you are looking into a setup of tight SmartFoxServer integration in one of your rails apps, I can hereby confirm that it is working. I could not find any resources describing a setup of these components, so I will drop a short note about it right here and right now.
Create your rails application and make sure it works
Download and install jRuby and jetty-rails. Change settings...
