Well, don't just give up. We were all beginners in the beginning.

I propose you read the http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Ruby/Packaging and help with
the transition. There's still lot work to do:

http://pkg-ruby-extras.alioth.debian.org/wheezy/
http://pkg-ruby-extras.alioth.debian.org/wheezy/details.html

And it is a great way how to learn about Ruby packages and Ruby packaging.

Just don't start with Ruby On Rails, it's a big task with long term commitment.
And I would love to have a help, but you really need to commit to it.

O.
