This is fantastic!

Is there any effort underway to integrate something like a community-grid of testers and results such as on CPAN? I know it is new, but would something like that be valuable? [googlizing didn't reveal anything]. Also, could the GEM YAML files attribute somehow be mined to show potential GEM file and namespace conflicts, maybe even with a query for gem writers to use to ensure the GEM they are creating, at least at that moment, doesn't containing any files that would clobber those of other gems. Food for thought...love to help once I'm more up to speed (which I am working on everyday).
