Yup.  I've seen'em too.

Yes, this requirement is a good idea.  No need for it to actually host the 
code, but the code should be available on RubyForge.

Maybe using Typo could actually influence it to be a blog where there are 
a few contributors?  Maybe having 3 or 4 contributors initially would be a 
nice start.  That way perhaps we could avoid the common blogging problem 
where you start a blog and then either lose interest or get busy and then 
quit posting.  Having 3 or 4 people contribute (and potentially 
more in the future) could keep it more active.  As such it could be a 
site for EDA-related Ruby development/activity (or Ruby-related EDA 
activity?)  

....or would it make more sense for it to be a wiki?
