Subject: [Rubinius-devel] TODO updated
Message-ID: <92f5f81d0611111555tb89e411s3a8d941a41017580@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

I've updated the rubinius TODO
(http://code.fallingsnow.net/svn/rubinius/trunk/doc/TODO). I'll
continue to update it as I add new tasks.

Anyone have any thoughts on the TODO? Anyone have something on there
that they want to take a crack at?

I've started to work on a introduction to hack on rubinius document to
help people get into the source. Until I do that, I'd love fielding
questions here. Anyone got any?

 - Evan

Hey Evan-

	I'd love to help but I am not much of a C or ruby internals hacker.  
But I am a fast learner and very interested ;) You have something I  
can help out with? And yeah a little doc about how to hack rubinius  
would be great.

	 I totally dig the idea of rubinius and would love to contribute  
somehow.

Thoughts?

Just committed a bunch of work I've done while on vacation out here in
Cleveland.

First, rubinius will now automatically garbage collect when it runs
out of space and will enlarge the amount of memory it uses as needed.
Be careful though! It doesn't currently decrease the amount of memory
it uses! Thats coming soon.

And another front, I've added Bignum support by wrapping up
libtommath, an awesome large integer math library. It's in the build
now and there are shotgun tests for Bignum auto conversion.

There will be more work over the vacation, this is just the first dose!
