I was wondering if anyone knows of a resource that lists all available  
gems and what they do. It would be helpful to me to have a resource I  
can browse for this information. Recently someone helped me by using  
the login\_generator gem and my first thought is how would I know about  
this gem and how do I find out what it does and doesn’t do

thanks
