Congratulations :-)

I took a quick look at the list of accepted proposals and realized that your
project, Cover the core of Ruby with RSpec[1] and Florian Groß' (RSpec suite
for Ruby implementations[2]) seem *very* similar...
Is this a quirk of the selection process or have you already talked about how
to sort out the situation and avoid overlap?

The mentors discussed this quite a bit. I believe the hope is to
have one person focus on the core language while the other handles
the core API. Or there was talk of splitting on the core and the
standard library.

Another option was to have one student working on adding coverage and
one focusing on combining all the splinter work that has been done in
this area in the past.

The important thing is that we would like to divide the work.

It's OK. The mentors already know about this and have spent quite a
bit of time thinking about it AFAIK. :)

It's not the first time this has happened either. I think it'll work
out pretty well.

Oh, and it would be nice to get together into the same IRC channel or
to sort everything out via mail. Whatever works best. :)

I'm really excited to see these projects becoming a reality. If you
need anything from the RSpec team to support this, please feel free to
contact either the rspec-devel mailing list or me directly.

Cheers,
David
