Hello there,
      Thanks for the input. I am not a ruby person - yet :) So can I ask you what OS/version is best for deltacloud. 
I tried yum install as suggested but I think I need to ad additional repositories ?? I use CentOS 5.4.

[root@localhost deltaCloud]# yum install rubygem-{rake,haml,sinatra,thin,rerun,json}
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * addons: centos.cs.wisc.edu
 * base: repo.genomics.upenn.edu
 * extras: centos.cs.wisc.edu
 * updates: centos-distro.cavecreek.net
Setting up Install Process
No package rubygem-rake available.
No package rubygem-haml available.
No package rubygem-sinatra available.
No package rubygem-thin available.
No package rubygem-rerun available.
No package rubygem-json available.
Nothing to do
[root@localhost deltaCloud]#


What i really want to do in the short term is to get familiar with the deltacloud APIs. I don't mind writing up some code (python which I speak :)  to make some WebSvc APIs. But if  aggregator will help, I'll try that as well.

Thanks
~x

And for the aggregator, you can find installation instructions at
http://deltacloud.org/contribute.html . Note that the fedora rails does
not run the tests properly, so if you plan to develop, I would

$ gem install rails -v2.3.8
