From: Richard Kilmer Date: 2004-08-06T05:00:14+09:00 Subject: Re: RubyForge status... Ara, We (my company) pays for all this (InfoEther LLC). Tom Copeland and I are both IE employees (there are a total of 5 of us). Since Ruby is a big factor in the projects we are working on (at DARPA, etc), RubyForge was one way we could repay the community. Tom and I will both be at the 2004 RubyConf if anyone wants to thank us personally ;-) Thanks for the 'thanks'! -rich On 8/5/04 1:31 PM, "Ara.T.Howard" wrote: > On Fri, 6 Aug 2004, Richard Kilmer wrote: > >> All, >> >> Because RubyForge is pushing A LOT of bandwidth, we transitioned to a faster >> ADSL line (was 1.5/384 now 6.0/768) but are experiencing some crappy >> performance (for CVS commits, etc).
