Gemified exception_notification rails plugin, compatible with Rails 2.3

Beautiful graphs for one or multiple datasets. Can be used on websites or in documents.

This is a implementation of the JSON specification according
to RFC 4627 in Ruby.
You can think of it as a low fat alternative to XML,
if you want to store data to disk or transmit it over
a network rather than use a verbose markup language.

The Libxml-Ruby project provides Ruby language bindings for the GNOME Libxml2
XML toolkit. It is free software, released under the MIT License. Libxml-ruby's
primary advantage over REXML is performance - if speed is your need, these are
good libraries to consider, as demonstrated by the informal benchmark below.

Rack provides minimal, modular and adaptable interface for developing web
applications in Ruby. By wrapping HTTP requests and responses in the simplest
way possible, it unifies and distills the API for web servers, web frameworks,
and software in between (the so-called middleware) into a single method call.
Also see http://rack.rubyforge.org.

Rails is a framework for building web-application using CGI, FCGI, mod_ruby, or
WEBrick on top of either MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, DB2, SQL Server, or Oracle
with eRuby- or Builder-based templates.

This package contains Rake, a simple ruby build program with
capabilities similar to make.

Rake has the following features:

* Rakefiles (rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in
standard Ruby syntax. No XML files to edit. No quirky Makefile
syntax to worry about (is that a tab or a space?)

* Users can specify tasks with prerequisites.

* Rake supports rule patterns to sythesize implicit tasks.

* Flexible FileLists that act like arrays but know about
manipulating file names and paths.

* A library of prepackaged tasks to make building rakefiles easier.
