Support

The Active Support homepage is www.rubyonrails.com. You can find the Active Support RubyForge page at rubyforge.org/projects/activesupport. And as Jim from Rake says:

Feel free to submit commits or feature requests.  If you send a patch,
remember to update the corresponding unit tests.  If fact, I prefer
new feature to be submitted in the form of new unit tests.

For other information, feel free to ask on the ruby-talk mailing list (which is mirrored to comp.lang.ruby) or contact david@loudthinking.com.
