We have a great many people relying on a volunteer run project here. It would be great to have someone sponsored to spend time maintaining the site.

Unfortunately I don't see any way to help fund such an effort. Is there an officially supported way to donate to RubyGems? Can we create a pool to help cover the cost of maintaining this resource?

There is some larger organizations using Ruby. So not hiring a guy full-time, but they might be interested in chipping in, to get a gem-repo that they can trust.
