All,

Based on everyone's contributions, as well as suggestions from Mitchell 
Charity, I've worked up what I hope is the final draft for the Ruby 
Community's submission to the "Year in Scripting Languages" thing. The 
draft is posted on the Wiki page here:

     http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyIn2002

Be sure to scroll down to the very bottom of the page, where a long 
plain-text section is shown. (It is presented in a format used by most 
of the other contributors, and suggested by Mitchell in a separate e-mail).

If you have any last-minute revisions, please make them ASAP. I'd like 
to go ahead and submit this to Mitchell tomorrow (Thursday).

Thanks to everyone who contributed,

Lyle
