I have gotten underway with the actual coding part of mod_rubinius: as expected, quite a bit of brainpower went into trying to figure out the (hopefully) best design possible. The main focus is still ease of deployment, support for shared hosting and, of course, performance. At the simplest, `rake install` and adding the location mapping to httpd.conf followed by a restart should be sufficient to get up and running but there will be quite a few options that can be used to achieve everything we want.

One thing of note is that I will not make any attempt to integrate with MatzRuby, JRuby or any of the other implementations. We believe Rubinius has some unique features that we can take advantage of (although the first draft will certainly do so to its fullest.) The current design is founded on this premise and, as things stand, it will be impossible to use the meat of mod_rubinius with any other implementation—some parts may be useful for others too.

But that is all for now. Once I have something publishable, I will open the development process up.
