+1 on this.

It seems like every application I write with RabbitMQ has a little bit different requirements, so I can't just rubber-stamp what I did last time. It would be great to have some comprehensive examples of the common usage patterns which will help you learn the API, understand the AMQP spec by example, and also show how applications should be structured. There's a lot of interesting stuff buried in the tests in the source tree that could be mined for some of this content.

How's the community wiki coming? ;)
