Hi Bosko,

My impression from just a couple of email exchanges at

http://groups.google.com/group/rip-rb/browse_thread/thread/7bf798f3aff72967

was that while they''re interested on keeping things moving forward,
they''re also very much interested in help on Windows issues.

I personally believe that the best thing to do now is join their google group,
give feedback that helps them make the hard tradeoffs, tell your Win32 friends
about the project and how cool it could be for Windows, and hopefully help them
find a cross platform way of doing the environment cleverness that
they''re currently doing with symlinks.

For example, does multiruby from ZenTest do some cool things that could help?

I think that quickly providing them another option to the symlinking before
their code solidifies too much would be a great contribution.
