Help with new project

Hi, you all.

I've been "enjoying" some Ruby programming last week and I wrote a
little GUI script to stop and start bootup services in Gentoo. In the
while I did a little wrapper for kdialog and want to share it with the
Ruby community.

My question is how I make it available to you all. Should I put it in
RubyForge or RAA? What's the difference between them? How do I package
it for gems?

Please, send some hints and pointers.

Thanks a lot,
Ed

Despite the surge of power you feel upon learning Ruby,
resist the urge to trip others or slap them in the bald head.
DO NOT LORD YOUR RUBYNESS OVER OTHERS!

You can create a project for it on RubyForge and store the files
there. RAA is just a catalog - it doesn't provide any hosting.
Still, once your project is on RubyForge you should add it to RAA so
people can find it.

+1, sounds like a good one for RubyForge...

Yours,

Hi! For RubyGems, see http://rubygems.rubyforge.org and Programming
Ruby 2nd Edition (https://pragprog.com/titles/ruby/programming-ruby-2nd-edition/ --
the gem chapter is available as a PDF, but if you want to really do
some Ruby programming, you can't beat this book).

Hi, Chad.
I've been reading the online edition of Programming Ruby and found it
exceptionally good.
I will try to buy the second edition, but I don't know if I can get it
here in Argentina.

I will try to set up my project on RubyForge this week, but I can't
promise that because I'm having some problems with my Internet
connection when I boot Linux.

Regards,
Ed

Ed, please let me know personally if you'd like help with packaging
your software as a gem.
