Its great to have you! There will be plenty of opportunities to contribute,
at whatever level you are comfortable with.

Excellent. The EditingProject has a UnitTesting feature proposed that you
might want to consider taking on. See:
        Editing project: http://www.rubyide.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?EditingProject
        Unit Testing:
http://www.rubyide.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?EditingProject/UnitTesting

If you go to the second URL you can see that it needs a *lot* of work :-)

This is off-topic, but since you are in Sweden...

When I was in High School back in 1969-1970, one of my best friends was an
exchange student from Sweden named Magnus Lundberg. We kept in touch for a
while, but I haven't had any contact with him for probably 25 years. Are
there any good online resources in Sweden that I could use to try to find
him?

Thanks,
Curt
