Microsoft is ready for community feedback on its implementation of the Ruby language.

At the O'Reilly Open Source Convention in Portland, Ore., Microsoft on July 23 announced that it will deliver via RubyForge a core set of features of IronRuby, the company's implementation of the Ruby language, to solicit community feedback. RubyForge is a collaborative software development management system dedicated to projects related to the Ruby programming language.

John Lam, creator of RubyCLR and a member of Microsoft's DLR team, said in a blog post July 23 that the team had been working over the past couple of months to get the first source code release of IronRuby ready.
