Brian, perhaps, being the testing-focused guy that you
are, you could start the ball rolling by brainstorming
some nice-to-have testing software that could be
implemented in Ruby.  

A scan through RAA shows these testing-related items:
TestSupp (test case automation)
RubyUnit (Unit testing framework)
Lapidary (Unit testing framework)
WebUnit (testing of web applications)
Rubicon (Test suite for Ruby itself)
Ruby/Mock (Mock object library)
walkit  (Unit testing framework)

With the exception of WebUnit (perhaps) it seems that
there's a gap in higher level functional testing
tools(vs. unit testing tools).  

Any ideas?
