Congrats to everyone that has been squashing bugs and fixing defects  
lately!

Apparently your efforts are getting noticed. Coverity has ranked Ruby  
one of  
the top 4 open source projects in terms of clearing up any code defects  
and  
producing good sound code.

Never heard about that, but if I have to name one very important  
ruby-related  
project it simply must be github. Those projects are what changes a LOT  
of code and people’s mind.

And that ruby is cool is nothing new! 😉
