Speaking for the ruby herd (which isn't a project and doesn't have a |
| 5 |
lead, but I'm sure Richard or Josh will correct any mistakes I make): |

No. Even though there are plenty of people in the herd only a few of us |
| 8 |
commit on a regular basis. We could use more people helping out with |
| 9 |
ruby stuff, especially now that ruby 1.9 has been released. At the |
| 10 |
moment our bug list is only growing, and we don't have much time to |
| 11 |
pro-actively bump any of the packages. |

On the bright side we've identified and partly fixed a number of eclass |
| 14 |
issues, and things are shaping up in that department. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Future plans: |
| 17 |
- get ruby 1.9 into the tree and allow for it work in parallel with ruby |
| 18 |
1.8. |
| 19 |
- rework the gems eclass so that we can actually test and patch gems |
| 20 |
without grossly abusing ebuild conventions. |
| 21 |
- create a ruby project to make coordination a bit easier and have a |
| 22 |
specific place for in-progress stuff and general knowledge on ruby in |
| 23 |
Gentoo. |
| 24 |
- recruit some more people to help out with ruby. |
