RubyForge Open For Ruby Project Hosting
tcopeland writes "RubyForge is a new hosting area for open source Ruby projects. It's powered by the popular GForge fork of SourceForge development. There's even a couple of code snippets up there already."
I never encountered an actual application written in Ruby
Check out the RealWorldRuby wiki page for a list of real world applications of Ruby. It's in use at NASA, Intel, HP and Agilent among others.
the latest news item on RubyForge is about a program for sorting (sorry, but it did not impress me very much)
You have to remember that RubyForge has only been up for about a week.
A couple of applications that are coming soon:
* A genetic algorithms package
* A swarm particle optimization package
