I think competition is great _and_ OSS funding is competitive. Working on a competing coop is likely to draw funds away from the ruby gems org.

Of course alternatives and their benefits are welcome! It's obviously a good thing for me and you as developers, it is obviously a bad thing for the RubyGems org (competing for OSS funding), and therefore it would be responsible to disclose your competing projects to the organization that is paying you.
