Ruby Section.

Much as I hate to knock any positive attention paid to Ruby, I have to
point out that the Zoo seems to be unattended. I don't think anything
has been added since it opened (although I'd love to be corrected).

Ditto. I first heard about it a month or so ago, and recommended some
(already popular) Ruby libraries for inclusion. I didn't get any
response, and those libraries were never added to the list, so I
suspect that this has been abandoned.

Hopefully it hasn't, but I don't think that they've updated the Ruby
libraries in a while. I don't track the others, but they're still
reporting what is now an obsolete version of PDF::Writer.

CodeZoo opened in April and Ruby was added at the beginning of August.

Here's a post that describes how things get listed on CodeZoo:

And here's the orginal post I made ask for Rubyist to go rate/review Ruby
packages in CodeZoo for the benefit of the whole community:

Nope, the Ruby section at code zoo debutted at August (together with
Python), while Java section was born with the very start of the site
(by April 2005). But that's ok - at least they have not been guilty of
a forever-lasting oversight.

I just asked Marc Hedlund at O'Reilly about this, and here is his response:


Ah, thanks much. We've unfortunately been caught dealing with a bunch
of sourceforge bugs (problems with sourceforge data that affect our
listings) and haven't updated in the past few weeks, but the site is
definitely not abandoned. We've made quite a few additions to the Ruby
section since launch, though some have come down with the update
problems. Hopefully this will all be resolved in a week's time.

OK, everybody, remember that Curt has the "in" at O'Reilly for us.

Thanks for following up on this, Curt. Sounds encouraging!

FWIW, Mark and I are working to get RubyForge to export DOAP using:

http://www.codezoo.com/about/doap_over_atom.csp

So that should help keep things current automagically...

Good times,

Tom
