See it as a filter to find suitable developers. :-) Then, IMO Ruby doesn't really need more *core* developers. People should rather help writing YARV (if possible) or extensions, libraries and documentation. You guys are doing your job fine, I can't remember serious complaints about the structure of the Ruby interpreter (except efficiency and threadsafety, but those will need to be addressed differently anyway) or the way development happens. > Nobu Nakada -- Christian Neukirchen http://chneukirchen.org
