Web Forge Spider is a web crawler built in ruby that explores gforge based forges (for example, sourceforge.net).

It retrieves projects information like:

• Project name
• Url where every project has its repository.
• Type of repository (CVS, SVN).
• Url of the mailing list where every project stores its messages.
• Url of the distribution files (aka .tar.gz files) released for every project.

All results are stored in a MySQL database, for further study.

Please visit Web Forge Spider main site for more information.
