Rudi,
I started researching Ruby MPI just to see what was available.  The code I
found must have been the outdated version.  I have been contributing to
opensource software for more than 8 years and would never intentionally
remove anyones efforts or history and hard work on a project.  I would be
more than happy to work with you on getting the latest bits merged into the
repository on GitHub and getting the proper credits in place.  Please feel
free to contact me off list and we can chat about it.  I would also be more
than happy to add you as a collaborator on the GitHub repo if you are
interested.  I would love to have your feedback on progress going forward
since you have been involved with the project from what seems to be the
start of it.

Cheers,

Aaron
