Reading this forum while trying to study the pickaxe book and teach this old dog some new tricks, I am at once awed and dazed by the huge number of library's available to the would be ruby programmer. I was just wondering if there is a global meeting place for these libraries, and some way (other than asking in this forum) to find a library you're looking for (based on what it does, rather than whatever clever name it's author came up with for it.) I just experimented with google and came up with rather mixed results. If there isn't any well described repository somewhere, google looks like a workable solution, but not a great one. thanks, jp -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
