::nods:: 1.0 doesn’t need to be the magical time to start looking at things. 
Especially since you’ve been an “early-adopter” for quite a while Ivan. =) 1.0 
is a good time for MRI code to run on IronRuby reliably, but depending on .NET 
interop is doable even now. Sure, there are some rough edges, but nothing 
majorly blocking something like ASP.NET. And it’d be nice to know of any major 
.NET interop pain-points earlier than later.

I definitely want to help with the integration of mvc and IronRuby. But I was 
also waiting for it to go to 1.0 before actually spending a serious amount of 
time on it.

We've always been clear on an expected 1.0 date ... sometime in 2009. =) The 
schedule to 1.0 will be more apparent in the next coming months. Check out 
http://ironruby.net<http://ironruby.net/>, lots of new information about the 
project up there, and like I said, more to come.

IronRuby is open-source. ASP.NET<http://asp.net/> MVC source-code is available. 
If you want it to work so badly, why not work on it yourself? The source code 
for the initial integration is available too, so I don't see the problem. We're 
a small team, so we can only focus on the language, and could use the help with 
these types of integration projects. So, please help!

== Long Answer

IronRuby has a very small, full-time development team at Microsoft. We are 
focusing on the language and libraries, full-time; IronRuby 1.0 is our 
priority. Other integration with .NET frameworks is usually from broader 
DLR-integration efforts that IronRuby gets for free/minimal effort, like my 
work on Silverlight before working on IronRuby.

So, again, we're the IronRuby team working on the Ruby language. If you'd like 
to voice your opinion about integration with ASP.NET<http://asp.net/> MVC, I'm 
sure the ASP.NET<http://asp.net/> MVC team would want to hear.

That being said, I've been the person on working most closely with the 
ASP.NET<http://asp.net/> team, only on my free time, to make steps towards a 
better DLR integration with ASP.NET<http://asp.net/>. Cause I care =P And in 
late September we made a first step by releasing an updated integration between 
IronPython and ASP.NET<http://asp.net/>. 
http://blog.jimmy.schementi.com/2008/09/aspnet-dynamic-language-support.html. 
Also, Phil Haack and I have been working on an IronRuby MVC integration
http://github.com/jschementi/ironrubymvc. Phil was last working on filters, but 
we haven't merged that code back into my github account. The current state of 
the repo may be a little wacky, since the sample app uses ActiveSupport, which 
loads way too slowly, but it works.

Phil and I are only two people. With other full-time job responsibilities, and 
other side projects. If anyone is interested in seeing ASP.NET<http://asp.net/> 
(MVC) integration, please feel free to get the available code and start 
building upon it. If you want to contribute, we can move the projects to 
ironruby-contrib and gladly accept patches.

If no one helps us with this, things will move slow ... it will eventually 
happen, but slow. So, if you want it so badly, I encourage you to prove it and 
help. If you don't, and the IronRuby team has to do the work, then 1.0 will be 
that much further away.
