Wonder no more:

You can see why I think I have to come up with a better metric for this.
 Mostly there's the fact that not all of those repos are ruby, primarily
because getting the language info for a repo is a separate API call and you
are limited to 60 per hour, and this thing already takes a couple of hours
to run.  I should probably add that though.

I'm sure other people would appreciate this sort of thing.  I'm sure we're
all poking at Rails 3 (or getting ready to) so this could be quite timely.
 Anyone else?  Is there anything in particular you'd like Priit to cover
about Rails 3 internals?
