Well, we should get the object/method/attribute spec done within a
week, and lexical scratchpads are pretty close to done now. Between
those two, I think we may be ready to start getting the compiler for
Ruby going. (Right now what we have parses ruby, but we still need to
add the code generating parts)

Head over to perl6-internals by monday and we should be ready to
start going. :)
