Well, I tried Shoes, Titanium, and RubyFX (or was it FXRuby?) and am not yet quite happy with the stability and cross-platform support from any of them as desktop application GUI tools. Next in line is Adobe AIR. Anyone know what the best tool is that will integrate Ruby and Adobe AIR? Is it even possible?
I think the better question might have been "is there an AIR/Ruby integration framework?" because I don't recall ever having seen such a thing...
Did you consider Google as a possible first port-of-call? ;-)
First result I got was some info at RubyInside.
However, the fact that this question is (as I write this) the #8 search result suggests that there may may not be much to find.
Beyond that, I'd also suggest taking a look at WxRuby, which seems - from a Windows-only perspective so far - to produce nicely native-looking UIs.
Have you considered using jRuby and Swing? Using Ruby really makes Swing much more pleasant to work with.
It appears that at the time of writing, there are no Ruby/AIR frameworks.
I'd agree that there isn't a framework that answers your question, per se. But if you have a majority your rails stuff written, a good 'service wrapper' that you might want to look at is weborb. We use it for our C# classes and it's only about 10Bil times faster than flat xml service calls (You'll still receive xml, but it will be serialized/deserialized --- may the FSM bless AMF.)
True, you'd still have to write a UI, which, by the wording of your question, I'm guessing you wanted to avoid.
Is this the sort of thing you are looking for? http://www.appcelerator.com/products/titanium-desktop/

I can't seem to find a way to generate documentation for Clojure code on Windows.
Marginalia seems to be broken on all platforms since 1.7 (see here:
https://github.com/gdeer81/marginalia/issues/158).
Codox has an issue
open on this topic (https://github.com/weavejester/codox/issues/110).
The Autodoc plugin for Lein 2 seems to be broken as well (not
enough reputation to post more than two links, but there's an issue
open on this over at GitHub).
Has anyone succeeded in running any of these three on Windows? Should I try something else?
Note:
I do not have a choice here, it must run on Windows.
As I'm building a case for clojure in the company, it must play well with leiningen, which is used to build and test our code.
Another option is autodoc - seems to still be active, but from the README it seems there are no promises it works on windows - still you could give it a try.
I think codox might still be your best bet. It's pretty popular and well maintained (there's only 4 open bugs right now and they're pretty newish - one of which is the one you referenced in your question). So maybe give it some time.
Finally, I know this is probably obvious and not ideal, but you could at least do one-off generations of documentation on a *nix system for the time being.

I'm not sure that I'm using the correct language here so I will give some examples of web sites which I believe have 'Web 2.0'look and feel
https://www.yammer.com/
http://www.heroku.com/
https://foursquare.com/
http://24sevenoffice.com/
http://www.formassembly.com
They all have big text, big buttons, plus very slick and tasteful AJAX/CSS. My question is how is this look and feel assembled? Some possible ideas I have had:
. Underlying library such as jQuery/GWT
. Handled by web framework such as Rails/Django
. Coded completely from scratch
To me all the sites have sufficient similarity that there does seem to be some type of underlying common mechanism. The reason I'm asking is that as a developer I'm wondering if I can assemble a Web 2.0 looking site using some type of tool kit.
There are common frameworks and tools to help with the development, sure. You mention two of them. However, a tool alone isn't going to do it. Not unless you just entirely conform to some kind of brown-and-serve framework. (I don't know of any off-hand.)
Good look and feel comes from good UI/UX design. I'll bet that each of those example sites you gave has a talented graphic designer behind it (either on staff or contracted for making the site) who is proud of their creative work, and simply used some tools to help facilitate that work.
I have just discovered Bootstrap and this is exactly what I was looking for

The company is growing and we're starting to implement more and more complex software designs. I feel a need for some tracking software... I just don't know if it exists.
I currently maintain a Google Doc Folder (shared by our 3 developers) with a well-organized doc for each module. A doc is also created per major upgrade to a module or modules. For all other "tracking"... we have interal forums.
I want the following:
I want get an immediate printout of all Project_01 features or bug fixes on a particular project with the option to hide or show developer comments that have been implemented in the last X number of days.
This clearly suggests a web-based system where developers enter issues, bugs, and features with appropriate tagging. Entries should be commentable, taggable, dated, editable and reporting should be based upon tags, dates, developers, projects, etc.
I figure I'm going to be perceived as naive by the grizzled veterans floating around here, though I've been running this business for 4 years (so I've been around). I don't think we have the resources to absorb the overhead of implementing something like CMMI... but then again, I don't really know what's best.
My personal evolution to using Google Docs per Application Module + internal phpbb forums for everything else has been pretty nice compared to the way we started out (marker boards, Microsoft Word docs). I just feel like I can go a long ways towards exceeding client expectations if I had the ability to track features/bugs/issues better with superior on-demand reporting.
Thoughts?
Update: Went with MediaWiki integrated with Mantis
Take a look at fogbugz. It looks like it meets all your requirements.
Also, take a look at this other SO question: Free/Cheap Task/Bug Management software
I've good experiences with mantis. http://www.mantisbt.org
Yes, FogBugz and Trac are recommended.
I hope it helps.
I find this comparison of issue tracking systems either interesting or overwhelming.
I think with 3 developers, in the same building, you probably can get by without software tools. But, adopting something now, before you're so big/complex that you can't survive without it may save a lot of future pain.

After seeing a friend using RapidWeaver and producing wonderful results in a few clicks, I was astonished and started searching if a tool like that exists for Windows. Unfortunately, so far my search yielded no result, so I'm writing here the criteria I'm using hoping that anybody will come up with a relevant suggestion:
WYSIWYG HTML editor
Must work (well!) on Windows (Vista/7)
Must not be web based (I don't care about webapps allowing me to create sites off of crappy templates)
Template-based (and possibly with many templates available)
Pretty flexible (nothing like Dreamweaver, but I wouldn't like being stuck with just entering text into some prebuilt templates)
Intuitive (and possibly good looking) UI
Producing standards-compliant markup (office-like HTML is not an option)
Here is what I don't care about:
Price/License (if it's commercial it's probably even better for my purpose, as if the tool is good I will want fast, quality support)
Good code editing features (when I'll get my hands dirty with the markup I want things to be looking already pretty good so I'll just have to improve certain areas based on my requirements...)
Server-side scripting (I'm handling that otherwise, for this tool I just care about the design part)
Here's a list of commonly recommended tools I consider unfit for my needs:
NVU
KompoZer
Microsoft Expression Web
Microsoft Visual Web Designer
Adobe Dreamweaver (good, but too good for my needs. At this stage, I'd prefer something quicker, even if it means having lower quality html)
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Probably too late, and not sure if this helps you anyway:

I am looking for a web based text editor that supports collaboration with 2 or more people.
I am hoping to work on a fairly 'small' project with a couple other people from afar and would really like for us to be able to work on the same file at the same time and see the changes each other make in 'real time'.
Language built on is not much of an issue, would prefer to have syntax highlighting, but not really required.
EtherPad is ideal for realtime collaborative editing, much better than google docs if you're ok with strictly plain text.
Try it out here: http://etherpad.org/
I just tried out CollabEdit for comparison and it seems it really can't handle two people typing at the same time.

What Features Should Tomorrow's Wiki Include?
google docs would be a save bet. it allows for simultanous editing.
Try out Bespin the new one from Mozilla! It is supposed to have collaboration tools built in, Though I'm not sure if all the features are available yet.
CollabEdit
I saw this linked in another question and it seems to fit the bill 100%, web-based and syntax highlighting.
Have you looked at Google Apps? Myself and two others were using the spreadsheet for planning on a project. You can see the other people moving around their curors and entering text. It's very very cool.
Look at DocSynch
I saw demo of the plugin for eclipse, i dont' remember it's name... maybe this one
Also this wiki page has a list of the collaborative editors.
I hear Mozilla's new "cloud" text editor, Bespin, looks interesting.
