It might be worth adding a news item about this sort of thing to the
site.  This would help people see that the project is still alive.
Also, may I suggest that you provide people with some
information about how you'd like them to test the candidate release?
Obviously the wider usage you get of a candidate the better, but a
"sketch" of which parts you really would like people to stress would
help: it could give an impression of which bits you consider
particularly stable as well, for those reluctant to install a
release candidate.

Are there plans for a 1.8.7 release, or are you just waiting for 1.9.1
to come out, and skip 1.8.7?

Is there any prospect of a 64-bit release (for those flavours of Vista
that support it)?

If I got some time to help I'd need to know about the tools used to
create this, but
http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?DevDoc
says it will be updated soon, and it last was in April.  Proof that
the team is busy, certainly :-)  Updating that would make it easier
for people to help you, I think.

        Thank you,
        Hugh
