There is so much to do and no time to do it. Last night in my fustration I 
realized the only way we are going to get anywhere is have people working 
on this projects for a living. So I'm going to commericalize ruby and sell 
it. This working on it 2 hours a week is going to get us no where. We need 
cash flow so people can work on this project. I noticed this with the 
fbdev project as well. We just dont have any real man power. I have in the
past asked for support from different sources. No one was willing to help 
:-(
