http://rubygems.org/gems/groundwork
429 downloads right now. And I don't know how that happened. At first I figured, well, it shows up on the "recently added" list, but then they just kept coming. As an experiment I uploaded another one:
http://rubygems.org/gems/clean
And it had the lack of interest I'd expected.
So I guess my question is, now what? These 429 people like my thing, how can I find out why, so I can learn how to improve it, or make more things like it, or whatever? Nobody's following the project on Github, nobody's emailed me or anything. How do I get in touch with my users?
