Hi,
Is a gem like a package in another language?

Thanks.

Subject: Comprehensive list of Ruby Gems

Even though it takes longer to load a big web page, I generally find it
more efficient to have all related information in a well-structured,
single HTML file.  This allows me to do global searches with the
Control+F command, or move by heading with the H key.

I could not find such a way of listing all Ruby packages available in
the repository at RubyGems.org, so I created such a file based on a
series of queries with the gem command-line utility.  I have posted this
file at the following URL:

http://EmpowermentZone.com/ruby_gems.htm

After the page loads, there are about 16000 headings, one per gem.  Each
section contains the name, author, description, and web source of the gem.

To install a gem of interest, use a command like

gem install gem_name
