I would suggest - If you need gem, which is not in Fedora, do not 
download pure gem file, but put it in kalpana-gems. Create spec file for 
that (this will make Review Request in Fedora later easier) and build it 
in Koji using HOWTO I sent today.
I can even create yum repository with developers gem then.
And if some of them appear in Fedora/RHEL you do not need to change 
anything and the transition will be flawless.
You can even create meta-package "developer-setup", which will require 
all developers gem. So if you introduce new gem, everybody will get it 
during their "yum upgrade" and you even do not have to announce it.
