hpricot: elite greengrocers ecarnevale, olabini, and crazycode will  
make sure this vital project stays fresh. Interested parties should  
contact ecarnevale regarding documentation additions to the wiki and  
other concerns – i5m is to be thanked for his work on the thankless  
task of “fixing the hpricot wiki”:

A lot of people started using Nokogiri, too, from what I understand.
