To report a bug, fork my repository, write a test for the bug, then fix
the bug and send me a pull request. You should especially work on
sending me a new logo.

http://www.google.com/sea... isn't enough?

Looks nice enough, but I think your missing a whole lot of features
CPAN has (that makes it CPAN / Useful) and rubypan doesn't
have. Backlog of releases, source viewing, links to other tools (like;
distribution rating, bugtracking, etc) are just a few of them.

Are you planning on adding features like this? Or are you limiting
rubypan to just searching?

Rubyforge does seem to have these kinds of things albeit in a
different (perhaps less intuitive) interface then CPAN.

Surely it should be CRAN or something? (Centralised Ruby Archive
Network), otherwise you've got Ruby Perl Archive Network :P

Sorry, I couldn't resist pointing that out, great job though I've always
thought we needed something like CPAN and was surprised it was never
done before.

he's missing MOST of the letters... since he's not archiving anything
or distributing it across a network... didn't really deter him no
matter how much we pointed it out. :P

I'm pretty sure the release method said he takes patches. Add away.

Nice job on rubypan.

I don't think bug tracking would be worthwhile since many people are
already using RF's tracker or Trac or whatnot.

Distribution rating wouldn't be bad, but it seems gemtacular.com went
defunct. Maybe it could be integrated directly.

How to seamlessly integrate - such as at the password level - with our existing
systems that overlap CPAN? How to make sure whenever we update GitHub or
RubyForge or RAA or Lighthouse or http://agilewebdevelopment.c... , we
don't need to then manually duplicate our effort at this rubypan?

The database contains information about all releases, it just isn't
displayed.

I think source viewing would be best accomplished via the respective
gem's code repository. Once we have the SCM info in the gemspec I will link
to it.

I will not tackle a bug tracking feature as that doesn't make sense.
Everyone uses their own bugtracker, Rubyforge, Lighthouse, Trac, etc.
If the gemspec pointed at the canonical bug tracker, I would link to it.

I might add ratings.

Right now, just search. But if you would like more features, the
repository is here:

http://github.com/tenderlove/rubypan/t...

It is a very simple rails app, and the README should get you up and
running. Please submit patches.

Ya ya ya. Did you *read* the bugs section? I know the name sucks. :-P

Here are the current bugs again:

### CURRENT BUGS

* Hopefully move rubypan.org to search.rubygems.org
* Also, it needs a new logo

I forgot one bug, the site needs to be "alpha".
