This means that Nick Quaranto's excellent gemcutter app is now indexing and serving all the gems - so rather than having two gem indexes, we now have one. As a consequence of this, when you release files to RubyForge, you will probably also want to do a "gem push" to get them up into gemcutter and into the main gem index. >> >> Sorry we didn't post this here at the time.

Hm... looks like it has an option for only sending to project admins, which would limit the volume. I vaguely recall that it sends an email to the admin of each project, though - so if you have 10 projects you get 10 emails. Hm, let me see if I can do something with that.... Thanks, Tom
