Josh,

The recent Github activity is nice to see, and your point about MacRuby being 
fairly mature is well-taken.

When I saw that Watson joined the RubyMotion team, saw the commits slow down, 
and noticed the lack of mailing list activity (especially compared to the 
RubyMotion Google group activity), I got a little worried. I'm putting a fair 
amount of time into some MacRuby projects, I love it, and I want to see it 
thrive.

Aside from that broad concern, I have experienced only one particular issue, 
for which I filed a bug report (#137). It's no biggie, and I certainly don't 
expect anybody to jump on it, since it's pretty low in priority.

Hopefully, we will see some of the RM code (such as the memory management 
model) make it back into the MR code.

Hi Jim,

I can only speak for myself, but moving (to another continent even), starting a 
new job, and having a new baby would, I think, qualify as busy! ;-)

Admittedly the mailing list activity has dropped off a bit, but I do still and 
try to monitor #macruby on Freenode and the GitHub project has a decent amount 
of activity. One would hope that the other reason activity has dropped off is 
that people are having fewer issues with MacRuby. Now, that may be wishful 
thinking, but if there is something in particular you are concerned about I 
think we'd be more than happy to hear about it and discuss what could be done.

Cheers,

Josh
