Remember <a href='http://www.raggle.org/'>Raggle</a>?  Rumors of 0.3.0 begin to fly again.  Ville just committed a fix for the obnoxious shell character expansion bug to the trunk in <acronym title='Concurrent Versioning System'>CVS</acronym>, which leaves a relatively small set of things to fix for a release.  Among them: a fix for the nasty <acronym title='Garbage Collector'>GC</acronym> sweep bug that has cropped up since we added parallel feed grabs (my hunch is that this is a bug in <a href='http://www.ruby-lang.org/'>Ruby</a>, not <a href='http://www.raggle.org/'>Raggle</a>), getting the web interface to some state of completion (basically this means writing a config interface and a feed editor), and updating the documentation to describe all the new features.  We could <em>really</em> use some eyes on the <acronym title='Garbage Collector'>GC</acronym> swseep/threading bug; I'm not sure where it's coming from (I thought I'd eliminated the concurrency issues), and it makes <a href='http://www.raggle.org/'>Raggle</a> die at random.  If you're interested in helping, <a href='http://www.raggle.org/?id=8'>here</a> are instructions for checking <a href='http://www.raggle.org/'>Raggle</a> out of <acronym title='Concurrent Versioning System'>CVS</acronym>.

Crap, just had a power flicker here, so I need to finish this post fast.  <a href='http://www.cdavies.org/'>Chris (cdavies)</a> plugged <a href='http://www.raggle.org/'>Raggle</a> in his <a href='http://www.cdavies.org/permalink/imaconsolecowboy.php'>list of useful console apps</a>.  Thanks dude!
