Thanks!

Now seems like a good time to thank the community which helped make our new release a reality. Rails 2.0 includes the work of more than 160 individuals who have contributed features through trac and our mailing list. Our user mailing list has 11002 subscribers all helping each other out. The development list has 1847 people helping improve the framework for all the users.

In particular we’d like to single out the following people who top the list of accepted patches

Our community is our greatest asset, and thanks to every single one of you who’s helped out throughout our history.

    Now everyone will get timestamps when they generate models. (evil grin)

    Great work guys!

    Yes, the Rails community is the greatest!

    Thought I’d also mention that two other Rails lists that are growing strong as well.

    • Rails Business—where people who run and start business that focus/rely on Rails talk shop. (725 people!)
    • Deploying Rails—Deployment and scaling discussions for Ruby on Rails applications ands sites (1075 people!)

    High-five to everyone!

    Indeed! Rails Business and Deploying Rails are growing strong and are great groups with great discussions.

    Thanks for the recognition, but I thank Rails Core more for delivering software that changed my life.

  7. Norbert Crombach on 01 Oct 11:05:

    And a big thanks to core as well for the increased development pace in the last half year or so!

    What about poor Freddy Cheung? http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/9682

    Poor, poor he.

    I assume Rails 2.0 will be in OS X 10.5.
