What is a good Ruby on Rails forum that can easily integrated to an existing application?

What is a good, open source RoR 3 forum that can easily integrated to an existing application?

Optional features:

  • OpenID support
  • Haml/SCSS templates
  • Support for smilies, YouTube, images, etc
  • I'm probably going to change it alot, and I'm still pretty weak in Ruby, so clean, commented code with good practices would be great.

Thanks :)
