We have virtually infinite room for hosting third party modules in our
repositories now. :)

I'd strongly support the idea of having Rubicon in our repositories,
because that would make it easier to keep it always in sync with the
interpreter.  They should grow together.

Also, I wish we'd also "undertake" some of the ruby modules that have
not been maintained by the authors for long, so as not to let them
die.

Needless to say, actively developed modules are welcome as well.  We
could encourage the authors by the benefit from sharing the resources
with other developers.


Now, Rubicon shall be the glorious, first module to import. :>


P.S.  Dave, if you can send me the whole existing repository of
Rubicon in tarball, I can just "transplant" it into the ruby
repository to preserve the history of it.  You know, you'll still be
able to have a local copy of the repository by means of CVSup.
