[MacRuby-devel] converging for 1.0

[Eloy Duran]

As Matt said, the priorities are:

* check if a ticket is still valid on trunk
* reduce the ticket to an as small as possible code snippet
reproducing the problem
* then you can optionally fix it, but this is way less important than
the first two steps :)

Also, there are bound to come up lots of extra things to discuss
during the day in the IRC channel. So please do not shy away from
taking part, know that I am amongst the people that have the same
‘problem’ of not being fluent in hacking the core of MacRuby too! :)
