The library is written to help people keep in sync about project details and updates.
Gossip comes bundled with three utility scripts.

The third watches a command run, then broadcasts command output and how long it took.
Gossip scripts are, out of the box and highly configurable.

It uses the user-choices gem.
New scripts should be relatively easy to write.
