Actually, that's not quite what I meant.

RAA has always been about metadata, and Rubyforge is about hosting.

I'm just talking about increasing the tie between them -- encourage
every RAA project owner to host on RF.

They'd still be separate entities that way, but the centrality of
Rubyforge would mean no broken links unless that server went down.
