As Rails begins moving into the mainstream I'm starting to find more announcements such as the following:

Blue Fountain Systems have developed their first application built using Ruby on Rails. The system is a shipment management application for a leading car parts supplier based in Northern France.

I'm not endorsing Blue Fountain, just happened across their announcement (via a Google AdSense ad) and it seems to me like another indicator that Rails adoption is really moving beyond the original group of early adopters that all mostly know of each other and communicate via social circles like caboo.se.
