Haven't looked at this script yet, but being an avid and active Gentoo
user myself I had following idea some days ago:

I'm new to Ruby, but I like it very much. I'm not new to Gentoo, and
like it a lot to. As learning a new language is more fun working on a
real project, I was thinking on doing some Gentooified adminscripts
using Ruby. Maybe other Gentoo+Ruby users want to participate so we
could start sort of a "project" for this, maybe even going so far as
creating a Rubyinterface to Portage (as someone else is trying to do for
Perl as I read on gentoo-dev).

Also an avid Gentoo-Ruby community could help advocate the use of the
language in the project, like doing ebuilds for Ruby 1.6.8, FreeRIDE and
additional packages.

Just some random thoughts,
Michael
