Yes it is a gem. And you could then integrate it into the Ubuntu
operating system. Like when a program has an error, because of failed
dependencies or anything, there could be a link to say "click here for
live support via ubuntu.com" or something.

So, how do we get people actually working on this? I imagine you
submit a feature request or some such? And then can we all vote for
it?
