is-it-fedora-ruby update

[Mo Morsi]

Just a quick update regarding the Fedora/Ruby project Zuhao has been
working on as part of the Google Summer of Code.

As many of you may remember, Zuhao has been working on a rails based
site to highlight the ruby sig's community's effort in packaging ruby
gems, developing ruby software, and overall improving the Ruby
experience on Fedora. Zuhao has made great headway with the project so
far, implementing Rake modules that allows us to pull the gem and rpm
packages into the local db as well as various frontend interfaces which
to display and cross-reference the gem / rpm metadata and other info
[1][2].

Various other features are in progress including the ability to comment
and rate specific packages, a section highlighting various projects
based on the Fedora / Ruby stack, and a mechanism to more closely
integrate w/ rubygems as gems are pushed.

I've hosted the website on one of my servers for the time being and
pointed a subdomain to it [3]. Towards the end of the summer we'll
update the site with the latest developments, reserve the
is-it-fedora-ruby (or other) domain, and point it at the server.

Any comments or feedback would be more than appreciated as well as any
patches or feature requests for the codebase. I'd like to thank Zuhao
for the work so far and am looking forward to seeing the site continue
to develop.

We just pushed the latest codebase to the site including the following
features:

- RPMs / Gems are now referenced by their name in the url, no need to
remember the associated id:

http://isitfedoraruby.com/fedorarpms/rubygem-activesupport


- d3.js is used to render dependency and dependent packages:

http://isitfedoraruby.com/fedorarpms/rubygem-actionmailer/full_deps   
(tree is clickable)


- tool to compare an uploaded Gemfile / Gemfile.lock against Fedora:

http://isitfedoraruby.com/stats/gemfile_tool


- many ui improvements including sortable columns, Fedora / Ruby stats
on the homepage, and more!


As always, feedback and patches are more than welcome,

  -Mo

Nice :)
Do you think it would be a good idea to also include some section with tutorials, that
would show people for example how to setup Rails project using our packaged Gems etc? I
think that Fedora has experienced some great changes lately, but I think that people are
not informed and don't know how to use them properly. I'd love to contribute to a
section like that. Opinions on this?

Thanks for the great work!

Hey Bohuslav, think this is a great idea. We have 'success stories' and
'contribute' sections at the top that would be perfect for this, but
just didn't flush those out at all (they can also be renamed). Feel free
to send any patches or pull requests and/or we can easily hook you up
with github commit rights to the project!
