well, the best thing might be to just combine all the project listings you can pull from all the sites together. for what it worth you can try to only pull recent projects, or projects passing some minimal threshold of 'usage' like download count on sf or watch/fork count on github. but w/o counting the github you are severely undercounting ruby projects. the ones on google code and freshmeat are a statistical aberration to the real count :) ruby people just don't care enough about freashmeat to use it much. all that matters is really just on the github. 'releases' announced on blogs/mailing lists and by releasing new version of a 'gem'. no need to duplicate it on some horrible 'releases' site still stuck in the 90-s :). rubygems package manager does a great job of informing people of new versions.
