The alioth project is approved and started. We're at
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-ruby-extras/
We've decided to go with a single libruby-extras metapackage that has
dependencies on other individual packages. All the packages will be housed
in the svn repo at this alioth project, and are co-maintained by anyone who
wants to help. If you're interested in helping out, adding a library, or
whatever, let me know (with your alioth username) and I'll add you to the
project.
I'm going to try and import some my initial libs (formatr and cmd) to the
svn repo tonight.
