empty skeleton for a gem, but it's a potential scam that could wipe
out the local files or something. It was installed by 3000 times in
last 2 weeks.</p>
<p>I think it should be removed. Do RubyGems have a policy for
typosquatting?</p>

contain an malicious code. Typo squatting is not something that is
easily resolved because it has many meanings. For now, there is no
issue with this gem.</p></div>Evan Phoenix
