I mean, they could go and ask on #rubinius too, but a static blog entry is so much better for status information than molesting some random guys on IRC :D I didnt have time to check on rubinius progress – I am already too busy with some other projects – I think regular blog posts are indeed the best way to keep a lot of people updated.

Yeah, the code is on github and anyone can look at the current state and activity, but having you guys out there talking about it helps a lot in letting the community know you're still alive Do you guys have anything in CI that does performance testing? I realize if not it'd just be more work, but some basic "real world" benchmarks that could be run on each check-in and then put into a public graph would be really nice - let people know where you are and where you're going I'm still very enthusiastic about rubinius - regardless of setbacks, you guys seem to have come a long way in a short time, especially relative to other VMs I think the blog post thing is one of the most important.
