RVM 2.0: Convert 20,000 lines of shell script into Ruby [Fundraiser]

How does one write a page like that, without even trying to explain, in a single sentence, what "RVM" is? It surely wouldn't hurt?

I assume that if you don't know (like me), you're not in the target audience of people willing to chip in to get the conversion done, but it still manages to frustrate me.

It's definitely something only targeted to Ruby devs. If you use ruby, you know what RVM is.

To answer your question, RVM is a version manager for Ruby. http://rvm.io/

Thanks for the feedback, I’ve updated the fundraiser description, it was so obvious to me what RVM is, it should be now clear what RVM does.
