RAA is an index of packages, rubyforge is also a hosting for projects.
In theory everyone that has something in rubyforge should also list it 
in RAA, while RAA should also index packages hosted elsewhere, so it 
should have more results.

In practice I think that there is a trend beetween people that joined 
the ruby comunity when RF was already active to just stop there and 
don't include the package in RAA.
