RubyPress will be a fully featured blogging / cms solution that is designed to replace Wordpress and was started as a test project where I could play with Ruby on Rails and learn it's ropes. It's blossomed into something more.
My desire to do this stems from my wanting something that was 100% my very own from the ground up, not because I hate Wordpress or anything like that. Wordpress is a great blogging solution, it's just not "mine".
I'm still very much kicking the tires and tweaking things to see what they do and as such this isn't a stable product yet. But I have high hopes.
Note; I started this sucker when I was first learning Ruby so a lot of the code needs improvement and it causes me to cringe looking at it today =)
