Yep,
You can already use that page: http://euscan.iksaif.net/herds/ruby/
And ruby packages are well tracked by euscan thanks to the rubygem
site handler, see how it helped to find new upstream versions while
http://euscan.iksaif.net/herds/ruby/charts/versions-monthly.png

Could someone write ebuilds for euscan and euscanwww ? It should not
take a lot of time, but my ebuilds skills are probably not good
enought to do that.
