Fellow Rails developers, I had this crazy idea where I send a newsletter containing a compiled digest of Rails tickets. The purpose of the newsletter is to reduce the nos of stale tickets and to try and leverage skilled Rails developers like you to help review tickets/patches and confirm/deny bugs reports. It will also aim to help newcomers start contributing. If you think this crazy idea might work I would absolutely love it if you took the time to fill this survey. Should take a couple of minutes. Note that I am in no way affiliated with Ruby on Rails core and this is not an official undertaking.

Prarupa is a gem/plugin for Rails 3 that provides the textilize, textilize_without_paragraph and markdown helpers(removed in master). It uses RDiscount for markdown instead of BlueCloth and the markdown method also accepts options like :filter_html & :autolink.
