RubyGems Statistics

ruby-talk
1

I'm giving a Ruby introduction speech at the local university this month and would like to include some RubyGems data. Is there somewhere I can see statistics about how many gems are in the system, how many people have downloaded RubyGems, and how many gems have been served?

Thanks.

RubyGems.org | your community gem host lists all of the gems and the
number of downloads for each.

There is also a sidebar on http://onestepback.org/ that monitors the 20
last gems that have been updated (an RSS feed for the sidebar is
http://onestepback.org/gemwatch.rss\).

Except that there's something wrong with it. Scroll down to the bottom. Notice all the dups? And they all start with "/" for some reason. And some of the names appear to be mangled.

That helps. Thank you.
