It's up to Richardto decide, I guess, but I expect there'd be no problem accepting ruby-mode on the trunk (which will turn into Emacs-23 at some point in the future), as long as the legal paperwork is done. I.e. the main author(s) need to transfer their copyright to the FSF and the people who submitted non-trivial patches need to sign a copyright-disclaimer. I doubt it'll be included in Emacs-22.2 (I expect this release to be bugfix-only), but maybe Emacs-22.3 will be open to a few minor feature additions such as new packages. Stefan
