I don't know who is behind Gemcutter or how it came to be that I woke up a few days ago and Gemcutter was the newly appointed hosting service for Ruby gems.<p>Was there a vote?<p>Who decided this?<p>How did they make that decision?<p>Here's my thought and tell me if this crazy.<p>Google is, by some accounts, a well funded company which is likely to be around for a few years to come.<p>They also happen to provide free code hosting for open source projects.<p>You see where I'm going with this? Yeah, why not host Ruby gems on Google Code!? Crazy? Please tell me why. Thanks.
