A DHTML pop-up calendar-based date selection mechanism, perhaps date_select_calendar.
Kinda like this one but that works better on Safari. (Does LGPL prevent this one from being included in Rails?)
I second this request, seeing as I’m building a complex scheduling app, and I was going to have to snarf someone’s pre-cooked DHTML and figure out how to cram it into rails, anyway. – doppler
How about a complete selection hierarchy:
datetime_select_calendar
datetime_select_time
datetime_select_range
For datetime_select_time, I really like the Sunbird time selection layout.

Calendars have a pretty specific usage, and don’t [IMO] belong pre-bundled in frameworks. It ought to be in a code library/repository, there if its needed for a project, elsewise its just bloat.
Calendars are not bloat
Not much more than the already existing date_select_tag.
They are a very nice utility to aid the user to enter correct dates, handling strange cases like 29 days in February, and possibly will be easier to cache if they are in a .js library, reducing the page size of a ton of <option> tags.

You also have this one :

it would be good if internationalization was considered from the start – localized day and month names, weeks starting on sunday/monday, possibility to see week numbers
