I’ve noticed there is no Rope implementation available via RubyGems  
even though there is a project on RubyForge ([http://rubyforge.org/frs/](http://rubyforge.org/frs/)?  
group\_id=4749) by Eric Ivancich and a Ruby Q. (http://  
[Ruby Quiz - Twisting a Rope (#137)](http://www.rubyquiz.com/quiz137.html)) with a fairly extensive solution by  
Eric M…

For awhile now I’ve thought about doing a best-case analysis of the  
two to come up with a new library and packaging it up into a gem, but  
I really don’t have the time for it. So I thought I could at least  
throw it out there as a potential project. Maybe someone else would  
like to sharpen their Ruby skills on this bone. It a nice size project  
too, b/c it’s not huge, but it’s not exactly trivial either.
