I've got an idea! (OK - it had to happen sooner or later).

Why don't you (Conrad) _create_ a distribution that has all the
goodies you feel should be in there? I'm sure it would be linked from
ruby-lang and rubycentral. That way, Matz can continue with the more
minimal approach, and you can coordinate the richer functionality of a
full distribution. That would seem like the best of both worlds. Users
would have a choice.

Hey - I'd probably use yours given a chance. Personally I've
downloaded a heap of stuff off RAA ;-)


Regards


Dave
