From: Matt Todd Date: 2008-05-19T09:20:31+09:00 Subject: Re: Ruby Project Recommendations My recommendation is to start using some tools, find some things that you find deficient or lacking and contribute as you go along. It's more important to contribute useful things to useful projects, though not always the most fun. You can always find something interesting, of course. Matt Todd On Sun, May 18, 2008 at 8:10 PM, M.
