My $0.02--rubyforge was good but could easily go away.  That being said, 
I do find it useful for file distributing [i.e. I typically know where 
to go to download non gems, like rubygems-1.3.5.tgz], and several people 
still use it for publishing documentation (their own style, their own 
way, not mass produced like allgems.ruby-forum.com or rdoc.info).  I 
therefore would move it not be abandoned entirely yet, which is 
apparently already in your plans :)
Thanks for the good work there and keep it up.
