@grosser we had been thinking about how this could work. We wanted to get the site launched as quickly as possible so we put this feature back on the shelf.

We were keen for as many eyes as possible to be on each gem, so we can be sure that a gem really works before it gets the green light. If we do automated testing then we run the risk of giving a pseudo-“official” answer on the compatibility of a gem and there is no way we could guarantee it. I think best for now that as many people as possible check out each gem.
