I am just starting with Rails. I've read through the AWDR book and am currently working on a side project in rails.

I want to get an idea of what a good rails project should look like in order to learn what the best practices are.

Can you guys point me to some good rails projects on github that not only work well but are well written?

Or am I better off reading Rails best practices? if so, any good ones?
