I would still like to see a more social gem discovery system. I want to find all the popular gems, but neither gemcutter, rubyforge, nor github has a way to do this (past say the top 30-40 gems).
- Jim_Neath 17y agoI don't know how useful this is, in the case of gems, but you can see the 30 (I think) most popular projects on github, based on number of forks or watchers: http://github.com/popular/forked http://github.com/popular/forked http://github.com/popular/watched http://github.com/popular/watched
- charlesju 17y agoThat's where I got the idea from. I was really excited to see what the most popular projects on github were, but this is just the tip of the iceberg b/c they refuse to show the complete leaderboard breakdown.
- qrush 17y agoI agree, let's make it happen. The great thing is that Gemcutter is open source, and as a community these kinds of things are possible now.
- wheels 17y agoWe'd be more than happy to set up a free account on our recommendations engine to track / recommend gems for folks. I think for the social discovery element of things to work though either gemcutter would need some sort of tracking element that it associated with clients that were pulling down gems (on the server side) or the gem client would need to communicate directly with the recommendations server. Hmm...
