OK.

The thought had occured to me to put a link in there, so I might as
well cater for people who have just woken up :)

How important/beneficial do you think this is?  James and I have a
good process going where I can run 'rake upload', which generates,
tars, zips, and FTPs.  An hour later, the new documentation *and* the
new download file appear on ruby-doc.  I don't want to manually
release files on RubyForge as well.  Rake either has now or may have
soon a task for releasing files on RubyForge, so the manual part may
disappear.  But still I wonder of the benefit.

I've just had an idea.  When you get this email, or 15 minutes later,
check the releases at rubyforge.org/projects/stdlib-doc :)
