Thanks, How do I go about sending the code changes I made? I would like  
to submit a small changes first and get the feedback and then I can go  
full blown development. I just finished 10 functions that passed my full  
test.  
Thanks.

Thanks to the awesome work by the rubinius team, if you’re working on  
the libraries, you’re effectively working test-first.

The tests live in tests\specs\core\* today. When Jim finishes his work  
on getting the rubinius specs running they’ll move somewhere else.

Thanks,

Please generate a patch and submit to Rubyforge:  
[http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=16800&group\_id=4359&func=browse](http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=16800&group_id=4359&func=browse)

BTW, can you see if it passes the Rubinius specs too?

rake spec file coverage

Thanks,
