RubyGems is a package management framework for Ruby. Packaging your
code as a gem allows others to easily install it via the gem
command-line tool. RubyGems also handles version management.

For more information:

 RubyGems chapter from "Programming Ruby II":

 Announcement of RubyGems 0.8 release (Sep 2004):

Happy gem writing. :)
