I'm using it full time now since I don't-really-know-anymore, there are occasional bugs and more than a few problems with ruby 1.9 - but things are starting to get along. Awesome work! I just want to support the point of Christian Dietrich of perhaps adding another maintainer/committer to be able to take some of the load when Rich might be busy or gone for a while. I agree that it can be de-motivating to contribute when you see the patches pile up, I imagine it must be harder to go through the backlog as well. Still think Rich is the man for the job thou, so he's the boss! Best regards, Gaute
