"Comprehensive Ruby Archive Network"?

Is there a Ruby equivalent to CPAN for Perl?

Unfortunatelly the domain www.cran.org is already taken by the Christian
Rural Aid Network in Ghana, but I’d still like to see an equivalent to
CPAN.

CPAN has helped Perl grow. A CRAN might do the same for Ruby.

There’s the Ruby Application Archive, which has surface-level similarities to
CPAN. However, it’s not mirrored, because it’s a collection of
links-to-module, not modules.

Still, many important packages that are regularly discussed on this list are
featured there.

RAA http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa.html

We are also working with CPAN people to create joint effort something
like C*AN.

There’s the RAA (http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa.html) which has links to
modules.

Also there is an effort going on to create a more CPAN-like repository
(with mirrors) for Ruby, but I’ll let the folks who are working on it
announce it when the time is right :wink:
