This is cool stuff. Thanks for taking the lead on the IE9 changes and
bumping some of your other changes from Convio out to see the light of day.
:) I've been consumed with learning Rails after 6 years of straight Ruby and
doing business development as part of my new job. I'd suggest you're
definitely part of the core team and should be added to the team pages as a
core committer.
Anyone agree?
Cheers,
Charley
