Only one person sent me anything... so I didn't bother. Chad and/or David were supposed to ping the presenters. I'd love to put the slides up. I'll write rubytalk asking for them. > **···** > > On Jan 12, 2007, at 5:10 AM, Bil Kleb wrote: > > > Giles Bowkett wrote: > > > > > I'm glad this project's name comes from an analogy to rake.
