Glad you like the idea.

Also passing through the survey I have noticed the 2nd question that is (again) imho quite tricky 
:-). Definitely it should be easy to use to gain a community; once you have it you will need to 
raise the bar and make it more and more customizable. This is something that I would say that fits 
best: with start small philosophy ;-).

Even if I am a Ruby freshman I would be really happy to be able to see the sourcebase very soon and 
even more to help.

cheers,
