There are no tests for OpenSSL::PKCS7::write_smime.

That is all :-)

A recent pull request for JRuby attempts to implement write_smime, but we have no way to confirm it is working correctly (and I do not understand it well enough to implement a test).

If my proposal in #8271 is accepted, we'll need to:

1. Document in appropriate places that CommonRuby is the place to file and track feature changes.

Proposal for moving to a more visible, formal process for feature requests.

1.

I think we need to do more to encourage the use of the CommonRuby
project in bugs.ruby-lang.org.

There are currently 429 "feature" issues open in ruby-trunk. The
majority of these would affect all Ruby implementations, and are not
specific to MRI.

I think we need CommonRuby available directly from the
bugs.ruby-lang.org home page. People don't know it exists, and you
have to drill down through "Ruby" to get to it.

Can someone make that happen?

Often when a lower-level API raises an exception, we would like to re-raise a different exception specific to our API or library.

Hello, friends!

I'm pleased to announce that JRuby will be participating in this
year's Google Summer of Code! We're looking for students and mentors
to help work on JRuby (and Ruby) related projects (and get paid doing
it, of course).

We have an ideas page here:
<a href="https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2013" title="https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2013">https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2013</a>

The JRuby GSoC mailing list for interested students and mentors is
here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/jruby-gsoc

If you won't or can't be a student or mentor, I hope you will pass
this information on to others.

I'm about to push my first significant commit and was wondering about
the ChangeLog policy. I ask because...

* It's usually duplicating information already in commit logs.
ChangeLog could be generated very easily if it's desired for src
dists.
* I see no consistency in when ChangeLog entries are added. A random
sample of about a dozen commits only found half of them added
ChangeLog entries.

Can someone clarify the situation? If ChangeLog is supposed to be
used, why isn't it used consistently? If it duplicates commit logs in
most cases, why use it at all?

Currently, all nonblocking IO APIs raise exceptions when the IO channel cannot perform the requested read or write without blocking.

It had to happen eventually...

We received a pull request recently for a change that makes JRuby's
hashing of Strings, Booleans, nil, and Symbols be consistent.
Basically, it provides hardcoded hashes for Booleans and nil, and
makes it possible to disable seeded hashes for String and Symbol.

I've had a number of bugs outstanding for years that I want to get
eyes on. Many of these will just get closed right away.

Many folks know that Matz is a fan of having a few classes that handle a wide range of behavior. For this reason, I think we're unlikely to get a set of parallelism-safe collections added to Ruby.

Several folks requested that I summarize my thoughts on refinements in
a blog post, so here it is:

I've been trying to sort out Ruby 2.0's refinements from an
implementation and usability perspective, and I figured a blog post
might get more people involved in the discussion.

I've posted that here: <a href="http://blog.headius.com/2012/11/refining-ruby.html" title="http://blog.headius.com/2012/11/refining-ruby.html">http://blog.headius.com/2012/11/refining-ruby.html</a>

I'm really hoping folks will jump into the conversation to help
refinements move forward the right way (or else to help get them
removed) so that Ruby 2.0 isn't irreparably damaged by a bad feature
or bad implementations of it.

Thanks for your time :)
