Ara Howard has done a lot of parallel programming with Ruby using a system 
that he devised.

I think it's okay to mention that the 10th is the target release date for Ruby 
Code & Style, an ezine published by Artima, and that one of the articles in 
the first issues was written by Ara Howard about the central piece in his 
distributed computing system, rubyqueue.  I've read the article, and it is 
really a superb piece of writing.  I'd recommend reading it when the zine 
comes out next week, for sure.
