Hello again Marc! I assume you were finally able to get into SourceForge's
flaky anon CVS server. Kudos!

Thanks, persistence paid off in the end !

- Many ruby scripts launch other scripts using Kernel#system. For us, this is very bad since it tries to launch another JVM. I have previously hacked
Kernel#system to check if the command being run was the ruby or jruby
executable, so we could launch the script in-process with a new runtime. What I have works, but could be cleaner/more reliable. I can send the patch
I made if you like.
- Many Ruby IO operations would be vastly improved with a move to NIO. Some
operations we don't yet support would also be possible. This is a bit
deeper, but you might be able to do some analysis of what we have.
- Well I thought about proposing 1121928 since it is working with
fixing a method implementation. It may be a little challenging though.

Thanks for the suggestions, the three above all look like nice self contained pieces of work so I'll look into those. I'll start with 1121928 since that will give me an opportunity to learn how Ruby objects and blocks are managed in the code.

Marc.
