When looking at an individual gem on rubygems.org, the information about that gem is incomplete. For instance, the description is shown but not the summary. The required ruby version isn't shown.

The way things are displayed at the moment is good, and some more information could be included in there. But consideration should also be given to showing the entire gemspec in an appropriate way. I'd even like to be able to inspect a gem's filelist. The gemspec could say `files: [17 files]` and the `[17 files]` text could be a link to display the filelist on a new page.

Food for thought, anyway.
