I don't think it's worth going this way.

Obviously it will take time for the Microsoft folks to go from a
completely closed way of working, to an open-source project like those
we're used to.

But, as Charles Oliver, I'm impatient to see this moving forward.
Today, this list rather feel like a forum for people asking questions
about IronRuby, and sometimes, a Microsoft engineer answers.

I'm a little frustrated as well by this situation, and I'd like to see
more technical discussions *between MS engineers* on this list. I also
do agree it will probably take some time, we had the exact same issue
at db4o. To be honest, I was even about to raise the same concern. So
I'm glad the question came out.
