It's great that you want to contribute to the community, but unless this is a need that is really, really, important to you, there are lots of other worthy projects that aren't at the level of 'would be nice', but instead at the level of 'really, really important'. I won't be one to judge which are which generally, but my point is there is software out there that needs to exist for Ruby that hasn't even been started. There is also a lot of code out there that needs to be ported to 1.9 if we plan to move forward as a community. I do think there is significant merit in making our central project repository top notch, but github has really filled in the gap (at least temporarily). There are other bigger, wider holes to be filled. -greg -- Technical Blaag at: http://blog.majesticseacreature.com Non-tech stuff at: http://metametta.blogspot.com "Ruby Best Practices" Book now in O'Reilly Roughcuts: http://rubybestpractices.com
