Greetings and Happy New Year, Rubyists!
At the first Rails Edge conference (http://therailsedge.com), Jim
Weirich, Bruce Williams, and I were chatting about how to improve the
RubyGems platform-specific behavior, when we realized that it would be
really helpful to have more info about the install footprint of the
Ruby community at large.
So instead of going right into hacking RubyGems as was our plan, we
created a little census tool and an accompanying web site to help us
collect information. Most of the info we collect is from
Config::CONFIG, with the addition of the RubyGems version.
We know this information will help the implementers of RubyGems, and
we hope it will also help Ruby implementers and library developers as
well.
To install:
$ sudo gem install tattle
To submit your info:
$ tattle
If you want to see what would be posted before posting, you can do:
$ tattle report
The information gets posted to http://tattle.rubygarden.org. You can
view the posted data with your web browser at that URL.
Thanks!
