Release as a gem

[pupeno]

Can you release this as a gem please?

Hmm, the main problem is that the ruby gettext extractor isn't functioning by itself. It has to be used with something else (most probably fastgettext & gettext). But yeah, it would make it easier to fix and add stuff if I could add new features to a dedicated gem.

Any suggestions?

I think just releasing it as a gem that you include when you are also using some of the other gems would be fine. You could require some file from the other gem and fail with a nice explanation if the other gem is not present.

Furthermore, I would rather have a fully functional fork of the main library. Have you considered doing that? Since the main project is never going to include these improvements, it makes sense to have an alternative. I'm actually consider doing it if turns out I rely on gettext in the long term.
