okey dokey, it's there.  http://www.pragprog.com/ruby?RubyAlgorithmPackage

I didn't include any real content, I'd like to get it started by having 
anyone with a decently valid representation of an algorithm in module format 
to add what they have and how to contact them to the page (under heading "I 
have a module for algorithm X that I'd like to contribute").  This way, we 
can figure out what our baseline is and then argue the necessity of 
algorithm X and how to package it all, etc.
