You may have heard that Ruby 1.9.1 is now out and “production-ready”.  This gives us a number of benefits, not least real threading and a general performance boost.  However, there is “production-ready” and there is “production-ready”; in particular, Ruby alone isn’t much use without the many gems that we all depend upon also being usable.  

So, we at Brightbox have just launched http://isitruby1.9.com; a community site that lets you mark gems as working or not.  It’s quick and easy and will really help people out so please test your favourite gem, then stop by and record the results.
