Hi, I found those few mails and felt appropriate to comment on them:

And then I dug out:

So Ron Jeffries originally expressed interest in my project, called
MetaRuby. There is another person, Ryan Davis, who has very recently been
creating a completely separate project with seemingly nothing in common
except for the general intent, and he calls his project MetaRuby. I have
not been able to find any release of his. Mine is available as usual at
www.ruby-lang.org/raa and cvs.ruby-lang.org, although I have not worked on
it recently. Questions may be sent to matju@sympatico.ca; I am not
currently subscribed to ruby-talk.
