Subject: Ruby advertisement article [Computerwoche]

Hi all,

   Stefan and I are writing an 10'000 character long article for the 
German Computerwoche,
which is a bit like the yellow press of computer magazines, but surprisingly
all IT-strategists (whatever that means) and managers in Germany do read
it every week.

This is a no-code article, only bla bla and economic data, if possible
in man years and in US-Dollars/Euros. I know the qns below mean
nothing about the quality of Ruby, etc. but I think for the acceptance
of Ruby we can gain a majof victory, if we produce the right kind of
business talk.


- Can we estimate how many man years of work have gone into Ruby?
- Can we quote sb. mentionning a concrete project, saying .. doing it
in Ruby was much faster than doing it in Java/C#?
- Any other good ideas?

Thank you,
    -Armin
