Common Problems

Unknown command (push, tumble, migrate, owner)

This means you’re using a RubyGems version older than 1.3.3, which doesn’t support gem plugins. Please upgrade to the latest by running gem update --system.

My confirmation email never went through!

If you haven’t gotten it, feel free to shoot nick@gemcutter.org an email to get things sorted out.
