Reading this forum while trying to study the pickaxe book and teach this  
old dog some new tricks, I am at once awed and dazed by the huge number  
of library’s available to the would be ruby programmer.

I was just wondering if there is a global meeting place for these  
libraries, and some way (other than asking in this forum) to find a  
library you’re looking for (based on what it does, rather than whatever  
clever name it’s author came up with for it.)

I just experimented with google and came up with rather mixed results.  
If there isn’t any well described repository somewhere, google looks  
like a workable solution, but not a great one.

thanks,
