Nice site!

That table is still there on the home page but how do I add to it?

I think it is a great idea for the whole Gem=>RPM project.

I don't have an immediate need for "devise" at the moment but I'm sure 
I will have the need in a few months time - I will attempt the 
conversion process (maybe on a simple gem first?) after I have moved 
house in a month or so - but the process does look cumbersome - maybe it 
is not as bad as it looks?

Regards,

Phil.
