Looks nice enough, but I think your missing a whole lot of features
CPAN has (that makes it CPAN / Useful) and rubypan doesn't
have. Backlog of releases, source viewing, links to other tools (like;
distribution rating, bugtracking, etc) are just a few of them.

Are you planning on adding features like this? Or are you limiting
rubypan to just searching?

Rubyforge does seem to have these kinds of things albeit in a
different (perhaps less intuitive) interface then CPAN.
