+ 233144 [kashia.buch ] I find this a worthy cause, and shared my configuration options...
| 233157 [drbrain segm] Its still darwin 8, so gems for your version of ruby should work ok

| | + 233246 [ryand-ruby z] Good question!
| | + 233258 [chad chadfow] I think that's a fair question.
| | 233260 [drbrain segm] Hoe hasn't finished evolving yet. At present a new Hoe feature can

233456 [halostatue g] Again, this is a Gem problem, not a tattle, hoe, or rubyforge problem.
