Here's the text of the last email I sent, back in November. I had no
reply. The process stalled due to two problems the Ruby developers
had. I hope you have better luck. (I no longer have time to do the

   Richard Stallman said that if the two of you are willing to sign

   I would be willing to do all this work, if the legal issues can be
   sorted out.
