My name is Charles Thornton, I have been the only (As far as I Know) the
only person currently working on IRHG (Integrated Ruby Hackers Guide)!

I am a English only speaker, and have been translating via Machine
Translation
and augmented by understanding the code.

A small group had started a translation and then became inactive. Their work
has been incorporated into my version (This is the reason it is now the
IRHG!).

Your help IS Needed. My method of translation is very slow -- But is does
give me a understanding of the code.

Further I would like to finish this project before Ruby 2.0 Changes
Everything.

You can reach me at "ceo at hawthorne_press.com".

Please note that I am not a book publisher, Hawthorne Press is my company.
It used to publish software, and now it is simply a vehicle for my
consulting work.

Again your help would be very helpful.

I hope to hear from you soon!
