I worry that Rails is consuming Ruby and that in time Ruby may loose most of it's identity as a language akin to Perl, say. And instead become thought of more like PHP. As for why a RailsForge. I personally have scant interest in Rails, so all that Rails stuff is additional noise I must filter. And I imagine there are Rails folk who are just the opposite. It's not like we can't browse both sites, but at least it could help separate and organize intent. Just a thought, T.
