I'm not sure about the nuances about doing this, but supposedly these Java based ruby interpreters are fairly complete as far as supporting the various language features. The Aeolus components include: deltacloud imagefactory iwhd oz conductor Of course there is plenty more to do, including coding, debugging, documentation, and just general feedback, eg sharing with us your feedback and how things can be improved!
