Hi, I was a student for GSoC under Ruby Central last year and I''d love to participate this year again, as a mentor. I''d like to include the Rubyspec project this year since I think it will help all the Ruby implementations. Right now our spec suite is failing hard under Ruby 1.9 so I''d like to have a student work on improving that. I think that during the 3 months it''s feasible to have Rubyspec running (with failures) under 1.9. If we can get it running cleanly then great, if not, at least we''ll have a good starting point. I''d like to hear your opinions/suggestions before posting the idea on the wiki/mailing lists. -- Federico --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.

Hi Frederico, We, from MacRuby, would be very glad if rubuyspec would be chosen and brought up to speed with 1.9. Next to being good for us, it would probably be very good for 1.9 adoption in general. So a "hell yeah!" from me. Just wished I could register as a student… :-/ Cheers, Eloy PS: Like discussed, don''t forget to send an email to the macruby ml, as there might be people interested over there.

I look forward to your proposal.

I look forward to your proposal. I''ve added an entry to the Rails wiki. This was the message sent to the different Ruby implementations MLs: *** The Rubyspec project (http://rubyspec.org) is interested in finding one student to work with us this year in the Google Summer of Code. We''ll be applying under the Ruby on Rails organization, you can find more information at: http://socghop.appspot.com/org/show/google/gsoc2009/rails A few months ago we merged the 1.8/1.9 specs and currently, Ruby 1.9 is not able to get a complete run on the specs. We''d like to start there, making sure that we can get a complete run with failures (instead of crashes/freezes). After having that, the student could start working on fixing some of the failing specs and writing new ones that target 1.9 specifically. The ideal candidate would be someone experienced with RSpec-style testing (we use our own system called MSpec), familiar with Ruby and interested in spending his summer helping the Ruby community. I''ll be happy to answer to your ideas/comments/suggestions at federico.builes@gmail.com. We also have a mailing list and IRC channel that you might want to check out: * http://groups.google.com/group/rubyspec * #rubyspec @ irc.freenode.net * http://github.com/rubyspec If you''re interested in applying please check out the Google Summer of Code application at: http://socghop.appspot.com/ -- Federico --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
