Hi all,

I’d like to get involved in the development of ruby core, especially  
with ruby 1.9 aka YARV coming out late this year.  
Could anyone point me in the right direction?

I guess I’d be most interested in fixing small bugs to begin with, and  
working up from there. I’m assuming there’s a bug tracker with a list  
of outstanding things to fix?

I had a look at [Ruby Core](http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/ruby-core/), but  
i thought i’d ask here to see if i could get a bit more info too.

Cheers - Chris H.

Cheers - i’ll subscribe to ruby core then.  
I had a look at the bug tracker - it only had a handful of issues for  
the 1.9.x group - am i looking at it right?  
And of course you’re right about the commit rights - thats exactly  
what i’d expect.
