I would also like a Gentoo-ruby advocacy group. I don't see much support
of ruby in gentoo, imo. Base install is ok, but not much else. Moreover, I
submitted some ebuilds (strscan, eruby), and I still don't see them in
portage. However, I know I should polish them, they ain't very good, and
not up to date now.

However, I'm not sure what to think of a ruby portage. I think, it would
be better to rewrite the whole portage in C, so noonehas to install a
script language (tcl, perl, python, ruby ...). But, it would also be a big
work, and harder to debug/modify. C is a bitch at times :).
