Subject: Re: New version of Rails available
To: [snip]

I'd like to let the developer know that he needs to update the (*nix)
shell script - it's still set to run rails-1.1.3.jar instead of
rails-1.2.jar.  A simple fix, but also one easy to overlook.  How do I
get in touch with him?  Or does someone on this list know him?

Thanks,
Michael
