Hi,

I'm a new ruby user, and I would like to say that I find it a truly
beautiful language. The way things are done is just pure programatic
(and pragmatic ;) poetry, and I hope to start using it as soon as I
get a project which gives me that possibility. So, I would like to ask
the following:

  * I searched the archives for a DbC module, and found in the mailing
list a reference by Dave Thomas about two different implementations of
DbC for ruby. However, I couldn't find any urls... can someone point
me to them?
  
  * DBI is one of the great big things of perl. Is there (or are there
any plans to develop) a similar API for ruby?

  * Is there an "official" way of naming modules in ruby? I went
through the ruby application archive and it seems to be somewhat
random... Any plans to implement some kind of CPAN?

  In any of these things I would be glad to help, if help is needed...

Cheers,

David
