For those interested in the API there are also official bindings for ruby, python, java, and objective-c.

Do you know where I can find them?

Google doesn't seem to give me much and the 'Developers' page seems to require applying for access with a particular use in mind. Not sure why they require application, a rate limit for non-approved apps would let people experiment more.

Apply saying you're just curious and you'll be approved within a day. We're looking at getting rid of the approval step for sandboxed API access but for now it's faster to just apply.

I love seeing the rubygems.org pages linked as a project's home page, or at least starter page. All the information you need to get up to speed. Such a world of difference from a year ago when publishing a gem.

I still want to get readmes shown, but I'm worried about handling formatting when GitHub already handles it flawlessly.

Yeah, it's definitely missing some sort of.. "what to do next" immediacy. README support could help with that (though some READMEs are crazy long and go far off track). Typical gem descriptions aren't long enough or well formatted enough to work.

Poke them to release their formatting code as a library. All you'd really need is a format(text, filename) => HTML function, right?
