Hey there folks! There will be a “Script Bowl” again this year at JavaOne, and we’d like your help in the “Community” round. We’d like to show slides listing projects, conferences, books, etc to show how healthy and busy the Ruby community is. I think just showing the sheet numbers of projects, etc will really drive the point home. So I started a quick list of categories (probably one slide per category) and items to list here: > If you have suggestions, reply to this email, email me directly, or whatever. Thanks very much everybody 🙂 - Charlie ---

Hey Headius, By my count there are 4664 unique gems up on rubyforge? Do i have fail? Additionally, you can get stats for the highest downloaded gems as well here: [RubyGems.org | your community gem host](http://gems.rubyforge.org/stats.html) - Mack is another rack based framework ( [http://www.mackframework.com/](http://www.mackframework.com/) ). - Iowa ( [http://enigo.com/projects/iowa/tutorial/what\_is\_it.html](http://enigo.com/projects/iowa/tutorial/what_is_it.html) ) is an older web framework that Kirk H. of Engine Y. still works on (which incidentally was conceived of a long time ago by Avi Bryant). - You’re also leaving off Harbor (formerly called wheels) which was produced by sam smoot & co. at Wieck Media ( [http://wiecklabs.com/](http://wiecklabs.com/) ), which is rack based and jruby only. You might want to mention easy command line tool creators, rake and thor are really good examples of that (although that requires some explanation). -Ted (knowtheory) On Sun, May 31, 2009 at 4:51 PM, Charles Oliver N. \< ---

Good catch, had forgotten it. > - You’re also leaving off Harbor (formerly called wheels) which was > produced by sam smoot & co. at Wieck Media ( [http://wiecklabs.com/](http://wiecklabs.com/) ), > which is rack based and jruby only. Wow, no idea. Good find. > You might want to mention easy command line tool creators, rake and thor > are really good examples of that (although that requires some explanation). Yeah, probably would fall under “development tools” category or something, along with rspec, test/unit, cucumber, and more… - Charlie * * * To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: ``` http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email ``` ---
