Is there any good site for finding/voting/discussing ruby gems?

RubyGems.org, the official gems site, provides poor functions. I want to find some good gems for my website, but it's impossible—it only provides several "New Gems" / "Most downloaded today" gems, and a list of all gems by indices. And the "search" is poor as well.

Anyone know any good site for finding/voting and discussing gems?

The Ruby Toolbox is quite useful to find gems. They are sorted in categories and ranked by the amount of watchers/forks on github. No voting/discussions, though.

Generally, you figure out something you want to do, then search for a gem, not browse through gems on the off chance you hit functionality you find useful.

That said, you could search github: http://github.com/search?type=Repositories&q=gem

But the best idea would probably be to go look through other open source projects and see what they're using.
