Not specifically the feedback you might have been looking for, but I =
give you a hearty "awesome!" as my feedback.

I've done a few projects in the past for community consumption and ended =
up just releasing random files on my website because I didn't have the =
sort of project you are talking about as a guide for how to 'properly' =
put it all together. I'm working on another such project now and will be =
grateful if your template is available when I'm done.

FWIW, I'm interested in ruby-only projects, so it would be useful to me =
to have directories/tools that are only needed for compiling extensions =
and installing libraries to be clearly identified as such.

There was a thread in ruby-talk in the past 1-3 years about directory =
structures specifically, but I haven't the time to find it at the =
moment.
