Hi -

I notice in the list of mentoring organizations for Google Summer of  
Code 2009 there is no organization representing Ruby.

Last year, I had a student who was interested in debugging support in  
Ruby 1.9 but due to a snafu on the part of the Ruby Central  
administrator, Ruby lost the student altogether.

Earlier this year in the ruby-core mailing list, I mentioned the  
possibility getting another student to work on some core changes into  
YARV (the 1.9 VM), Kochi indicated he’d be interested in mentoring.  
Given this ideal situation, would it be possible to list such a  
project as part of Ruby R.?

Thanks.

P.S. The “core” email address listed on  
[http://socghop.appspot.com/org/show/google/gsoc2009/rails](http://socghop.appspot.com/org/show/google/gsoc2009/rails)  
bounced email back to me saying there is no such account.

If you’re trying to reach people from rails-core then the rubyonrails-  
core mailing list / google group might be a better place.
