Discourse does a great job harnessing EmberJS and Ruby. I’ve installed an instance of it, and I’m wildly impressed front to back. Are there any other known open source projects that are similarly making use of this stack, but not discussion/forum focused? Such as a marketplace(eCommerce), CMS, or any other kind of platform?

There are partially similar stacks, [Ghost](https://ghost.org/) use Ember, [GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/) use Rails/unicorn/redis/postgres

[Travis CI](https://travis-ci.com/) uses a [Sinatra (Ruby) backend](https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-api) and an [EmberJS frontend](https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-web).

I also appreciate the consideration given by the founders and expert community members to a vast number of topics and the many new/noob members. ❤ There is a signficant time commitment in keeping up with the topics and responding quickly. Thank you.

Definitely. Same here. The active development, robust features, and pretty extensive discussion of Discourse is inspiring and assuring. I really want to make it work for my organization. Thanks everyone for continually putting in the time to make it what it is.
