The closest I’ve seen to what I’d call an “agile” software project
management web app is Trac … but that’s in Python, right? 
Amen brother, amen!
I think sometimes a little reinvention can be a healthy thing. You
get to rethink the elements that make something what it is.
Obviously Trac is missing a couple of things needed to replace
GForge, but I agree that it’s a lot closer to my ideal.

Not counting login it takes exactly 1 form to create a new release
including uploading the file.
Shall the file be one. If they are many though… (and a normal
release usually has at least two)
Currently there are like 3 different Rake tasks for publishing
gems (all of them UNOFFICIAL) and I had problems with all of these.
That has little (if anything) to do with rubyforge itself.
Uhm… Let’s say that I don’t agree but as you are in the mood of
name calling I will just shut up.

It wouldn’t need to be done from scratch, Bounty Source is written in
Rails
and has been open sourced:

If you’re going to exaggerate things out of proportion, I’m going to
call you on it.

Your original words:
- you have to click ten forms in a row just to publish one
gawddamn file

Disagreeing with me is just fine. My latter point was that having
problems with the rake tasks has more to do with their implementation
than it has to do with rubyforge itself.
Welcome to the internet. Here’s your thicker skin.

That’s a neat sight. Thanks for sharing!

I am talking about something completely different. What I am talking
about is making the release of a rubygem/tarball to rubyforge not
500% painful as it is now, because:
- you have to click ten forms in a row just to publish one gawddamn
file
- your only option if you want to avoid the n. 1 is to write a
script that clumsily simulates the No 1 and breaks every other minute.

Which ones have you tried? Have you tried the variants in Net::LDAP?
Those are modern modifications to what I used in my last release of
PDF::Writer and are more reliable than any other form that I’ve used.
It literally takes about thirty seconds or so to publish to RubyForge
when you use this sort of thing.
