So we're really just looking for a technical solution to a social problem. Has the author of the java mongrel port asked Zed to be a member of the mongrel project so the port can be distributed from the same project, and the code be kept in one place for maintainability? Has Zed refused? If both of those answers are yes, then *maybe* we should look into writing some code. (Really, some gentle social pressure should be applied first, then, still, *maybe* we should look into writing some code.) Otherwise, no. _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
