I have thoughts going both ways:- One part of me says that the installer
itself. should be least-dependant
of other packages.
At the same time, I was looking at rake yesterday. Rake easily is to
'Ruby' what 'make' is to c/cpp or 'ant'
is to Java(and a lot simpler). I was surprised 'Rake' was not shipped
along with Ruby - hope it will be soon.
That said - it actually may not be a bad idea to force the depandancy of
Rake

I'm thinking about using rake for the cli installer (rake install,
with other targets for lib-install, etc). But that would mean that the
users of the installer would need to have rake installed, which isn't
part of the ruby distro. (although you can do a gem install rake.)
Thoughts?

Gem - preferred installer
CLI Installer - Optional components only. That is, the command line
installer is
over and above the Gem
Also, it probably is a good idea to include docs / helper scripts to
uninstall older
versions of Watir.
My few cents.

Our new installers have been out for a bit. And we need to update
our docs to reflect this.
Should we tell people about the one-click installer, the gem or both?
We have scattered reports of problems with the new one-click
installer. We'd appreciate hearing more about it? Is it working for
you. Do you like it? Is it better than the old one.
I want to update our documentation on how to install Watir and would
like some feedback first.
I am also planning to convert the old installer to be a simply
command line installer -- that way we have something very reliable
for people who want more than a gem and are having problems with the
one-clicker or want to install directly from HEAD.
