I have made some changes: - Made text flow consistent (fixed vs flowed, couldn't help myself). - Add a note in the naming conventions section that applications are supposed to be called just "foo". - Add a link to our packaging guidelines; made the link to the gem2deb transition instructions more specific as the wiki page is rather large. Another note (for which I made no changes yet): You mention that we want to have maintainers outside the PRE team to also transition their package to improve statistics. This suggests that this is our main aim. I think the most important thing is to have a higher quality of Ruby packages and also a more consistent experience of installing and using them. That is why this transiions _needs_ to be finished before Wheezy freezes. We will present a mess to the user and a hassle to maintain to ourselves if we don't. So, I suggest a stronger formulation and leave the part about the statistics out... they are just there to show us the progress. > On the same topic, what is the status of the Ruby policy draft in the > ruby-policy directory?

I mainly use the Packaging wiki-page which could be seen as a, albeit informal, Debian Ruby policy.
