	Why not track a real project?  When I was first learning C I
subscribed to the Apache and FreeBSD's mailing lists so I could get the
gist of what it was all about.  Why not subscribe to a few ruby based
projects and review/participate/comment on the development of (::cough
cough:: ruby-tmpl ::cough cough::)?

	I'm sure if you do a search at SourceForge or Freshmeat you=20
should be able to find something to work on.

	That's what ruby-tmpl is to me, but it also has the nifty
benefit of solving a problem.  Anything similar that you could toss
effort into?  -sc
