Indeed, if you have some Ruby knowledge, the easiest way to contribute for outsiders is to try to use your favorite Ruby library or to run your favorite Ruby application with IronRuby, and report minimal testcases. This does not require any C# or DLR knowledge. Testing and testcase reduction are very important works, and can be rewarding. That said, the problem is that IronRuby is currently so incomplete that you can hardly require any Ruby standard library before running into problems. In my experience this has been the most discouraging. In comparison, I could require 'date' and 'url' in Ruby.NET just after a small number of bug fixes. -- Seo Sanghyeon _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
