Some suggestions:

* ruby-talk (subject "[ann] foo")
* RAA (Ruby Application Archive) [1]
* homepage:
   * screenshots if applicable
   * readme (short desc, info, usage, ...)
   * examples (perhaps a tutorial or demo
     if applicable)
   * RDOCs [2]
   * .zip//&.tar.gz
     I like it if it's easy to install by hand,
     by moving it to $: [3])

Some nice examples:

RDOC [4]
REXML [5] (check the RDOCs)
