I have no problem changing over to that convention.. I am aware of the FreeBSD
related Ruby ports. Please be aware that I dont recommend we blindly slurp
up Ruby ports from FreeBSD though. A lot of those ports are not listed
as stable by the people developing the ported programs.. If interested
visit http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa.html

Ive already made the change...its now, ruby-book.tar.gz for the 
programming ruby book.
I will go ahead and make the change to the ri port as well.
