I'm glad to see this project is coming back.

I'm in the middle of writing a Stats library for Ruby[0]. Maybe we can join forces?

I scanned your project and it looks great. This is one of the major things we are trying to accomplish with SciRuby - simplified access to things like GSL for basic/essential science and stats. Seems like you and Claudio Bustos should get together (Claudio is working on distribution[0] and is very involved in sciruby). We should join forces.

I'll be in touch this week. This could be exciting. More than anything, I think this will give statistics a home on the Web and will give a new face to statistics for non-engineers. Maybe we can do for statistics what Rails did for Web development.
