Just a really quick look.

Well, it doesn't really matter which way we go but I think Ruth is as
experimental as anything else.  And Ruth will be REALLY hard to modify
to the next rewrite of ruby so I think we will be stuck with the current
version of ruby if we go that way.

I say we should go with the way the parrot folks are going.

BTW, Who are willing to do what??  I'd like to work in the PMC/Classes
stuff but am not really interested in creating the compiler.  Who is
willing to work on that?
