Right now, there's the Ruby Application Archive (RAA) at
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa.html.

Some of us were at the first Ruby Conference in Tampa, where we
discussed the need for something like you suggest. We brainstormed
some ideas, which are summarized at
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RaaSucc.

Now we just need to write it.

Heh, it's just code, right :)
