I forgot to mention publicly.  I'm NOT writing the book about Ruby
specification.  I've never been even asked.  Possibly this be the
translation of my Japanese book, which is NOT specification.

"Ruby Pocket Reference" (Japanese) is going to be out from O'Reilly
Japan this autumn.  I've finished my manuscript this week.  I'm not
sure whether it will be translated to English or not.  I hope it will be.

Manning and several other publishers asked me for publication.  If
somebody among you are willing, I can introduce them.
