Why not ? Let me know what I should do next.

Allow me to finish up my testing and get an OK from the other team
members before we open it up for the world.

What do you say, Dan? Park?

Meanwhile a few more questions. I haven''t quite understood the purpose
of the following lines in gemspec:

#-----------------------------------------
 ## What other platform can it be?
 s.platform = Gem::Platform::RUBY

 ## What do these lines do and how to mention multiple requirements?
 s.requirements << ''drb''
 s.require_path = ''lib''
 s.autorequire = ''legoR''
#-----------------------------------------

And it seems I cannot get uninstall to work:

C:\legoR>gem -i legoR-0.0.1.gem
Successfully installed legoR version 0.0.1

C:\legoR>gem -u legoR-0.0.1.gem
