Good point: working with the parrot folks now lets us give them input.
Also the other goal is that even though Parrot isn't ready for prime time 
yet (and I didn't expect that it was yet) it would be good to have Ruby 
playing with it when it's ready.

Don't let that 'leader' title scare you.  Maybe it was an unfortunate 
choice of titles.  Basically, at this point Cardinal needs:
1) someone to think about what is needed to get Ruby working with Parrot
(You've been doing that)
2) someone to startup the project infrastructure: mailing lists, CVS 
repositories, etc (SourceForge or Savannah would be of great assistance 
here- I prefer Savannah, hint, hint).

I'm definately interested, it's just that I've got something else on my 
plate right now and it'll be a few months before I can get back to 
Cardinal, in the meantime I think that there is work that someone can be 
doing on Cardinal and I think you've beed doing a good bit of it, Erik!
