I have an idea.  In the mockup site I made 
http://www.math.umd.edu/~dcarrera/ruby/raa/
You see some tabs for Lib, Apps, and so on.

How about having different subdomains that simply take you to the 
appropriate page tab page within RAA.  Suppose that the domain is 
"rubyarchive.org":

  libs.rubyarchive.org ->  Libs tab
  apps.rubyarchive.org ->  Apps tab
  docs.rubyarchive.org ->  Docs tab
  info.rubyarchive.org ->  Info tab (i.e. Ruby marketing)

So we have a sub-domain for each of the different audiences.
The domain 'rubyarchive.org' becomes very fitting, because this because an 
archive of much more than just apps (which is what RAA seems to imply).  

Also, each subdomain tells you exactly what it is an archive of.

What do you think?
