Subject: Re: Brite - A ruby compiler for the .NET platform

Most people are already aware of this, but just for the newcomers,
this group is also working towards similar goals:

http://plas.fit.qut.edu.au/rubynet/

Although I, personally, am cheering for Florian, since the result of
his efforts will be truly open source, as opposed to the QUT effort
that will be  (to quote their home page):

'under a relatively liberal open source license that largely allows it
to be freely used by anyone in any way and for any purpose.'

I'm a little wary of the 'relatively', 'largely' and 'used by' phrases
(as opposed to 'modified by'). We'll have to see.
