I believe there isn't, or at least nobody was able to point me to it :-( My previous post summarizes some of the most important recent news in ruby-lang, but it seems most of the information about Rite is hidden under a pile of kanas and kanjis in ruby-dev (the Japanese list). The only way to get fresh info in English seems to be pulling it from matz :-) Actually, we already know a number of things about Rite (those that matz has posted here), but the rationale for the design decisions that have already been taken (which I was asking for in my previous post) must be at ruby-dev if anywhere. > I also wonder if help is needed on the project either developing or testing? You might want to spend a couple years learning nihongo to follow ruby-dev :-) (babelfish doesn't help much) and learn about the official implementation, version 2.0. When it shows up in the CVS you'll be able to contribute. OR you could also take a look at Cardinal, which will hopefully be a complete re-implementation of Ruby running on Parrot. http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?CardinalProject It seems a parser for Ruby has just appeared in Parrot's CVS tree :-) -- _ _ | |__ __ _| |_ ___ _ __ ___ __ _ _ __ | '_ \ / _` | __/ __| '_ ` _ \ / _` | '_ \ | |_) | (_| | |_\__ \ | | | | | (_| | | | | |_.__/ \__,_|\__|___/_| |_| |_|\__,_|_| |_| Running Debian GNU/Linux Sid (unstable) batsman dot geo at yahoo dot com Turn right here.
