While it's great that your company is interested in providing support  
for Ruby, if your constraints prevent you from taking the time to  
learn  the language (or spend the money to work with someone who  
already knows it), it's unlikely to be something that an experienced  
Ruby programmer is going to find very useful. Since it _would_ be  
nice to see more tools supporting Ruby, I'll urge you to take the  
time to learn the language and be able to provide excellent support  
for it in your product. (Besides, you'll probably find that you  
really _enjoy_ programming in Ruby!)

As someone else already said, the Ruby community is a great group of  
people, and this list in particular has always been willing to go the  
extra mile to help people learn the language.

Perhaps I came across too harshly in my original message. Again, I  
don't want to discourage you from learning Ruby or participating in  
the group. I only meant to suggest that the specific questions you  
were asking were unlikely to provide the answers you'll need in the  
long run.
