I'd love some clarification on that end of things. The core classes are 
really public and you can contribute to them. The runtime (DLR plus some 
IronRuby internals) seem to be public but you can't contribute to it. 
And then of course Microsoft's CLR impl is not open source. I respect 
what John's trying to do opening up this project, but I worry about an 
OSS project built on progressively more closed foundations.
