Hi all,

After a bit of searching I finally found:

A github site - [GitHub - dbalmain/ferret: Ferret: the extensible information retrieval library for ruby.](http://github.com/dbalmain/ferret)  
And a git repository - git://github.com/dbalmain/ferret.git

They were apparently created by a user called ‘dbalmain’, suspiciously  
familiar!

Is this the oft mentioned but thus far invisible git repository? It’s  
been  
inactive since June and Dave seems to be silent. I do hope he hasn’t  
been hit  
by a bus ☹ .
