Nanoc-boilerplate is a project mainly written in Ruby, it's free.
My starting template for nanoc powered websites.
A pile of useful stuff to get myself setup with new nanoc project's...
This is not a bare-bones template. The idea is to put everything in here; then delete the stuff I don't need in the new project.
