Thought this would be an interesting cross post, and a couple people  
on the core team list thought it belonged here anyways. So:

Just thought it might be fun to see what a prediction market says when  
Rails 2.0 is coming:

Yes there have been discussions in the past about a date this is going  
to be released. A person has said “quite a ways out”, another has  
said “some time in the future”. That’s fine. I can’t fault anyone  
for these estimates. I totally understand and in no way am badgering  
anyone working their butt off on the release. However just like the  
jelly bean jar where the wisdom of the crowd can eerily get the  
correct number of beans by averaging their answers, I was attempting  
to use this approach to quantify peoples thoughts on an estimate of  
when Rails 2.0 will get its first release or pre-release.

It’s free to sign up, no ones going to get an email about viagra, and  
we don’t even send an annoying newsletter. 🙂 Just thought this  
might be a new approach to come up with something valuable for those  
who plan things around new releases of Rails.
