Hi!

I am part of the TestNG team and your messages just raised my pulse (pretty happy right now).

I am a newbie to Ruby, but I really think I would like to work with somebody on porting the TestNG 
functionality in Ruby.

Please let me know if somebody is interested in guiding me through Ruby. I can pay back with some 
TestNG internal ;-).

thanks,
