It might be useful to have some sort of Ruby "porting party" website.
A central location where folks interested in a given library can all
get together and set up a date/time where they could get together
online and churn it out. Maybe have a "top 10 most-wanted libs" list,
sign-up sheet, wish-list, calendar, "Done" list...
