Just wanted to send out a ping to the list to let folks know that I’m  
laying claim to IO for now. We really need to move forward with the  
libraries implementation, and IO is something that lots of things have  
dependencies on.

If anyone has any objections, please speak up!

Thanks,  
-John

That’s fine with me. I’ve done some work on IO (just readLines really),  
File (most of the static stuff), and the Time class (mostly  
implemented).  
But it’s on the back burner while I’m working on non-ruby projects ☹  
and  
preparing for a baby 🙂 !

If you want any of the code, I’ll be happy to send it your way.

Regards,  
Eric

Please do send it along. I’d love to merge them into my patch.

Thanks,

PS Don’t think that anything that you do now will prepare for the baby  
… 🙂
