State of the project
	Hello everyone, There doesn't seem to have been much activity since RubyConf 2008. I'm curious where the state of the project was at? By Zach Moazeni  - May 20 2009 - 8 new of 8 messages

	forwarding #respond_to? to the proxied object
	For a dramatis actor to work with the Observable module, it needs to forward respond_to?(:update) to the proxied object. The code that handled this before has been changed (I think since you brought blankslate into it). Any idea how I can mimic this functionality now? cr By Chuck Remes  - Sep 29 2008 - 11 new of 11 messages

	git HEAD doesn't work
	I just pulled the latest changes (from Aug 21) but dramatis no longer works. The error appears to be a missing file "builder/blankslate" which is used as a parent class inside lib/dramatis/actor/name.rb. cr By Chuck Remes  - Sep 29 2008 - 10 new of 10 messages

	Examples in dramatis
	Very cool. It doesn't get better than having gotten done with a talk, finding someone has actually tried something in the interim. Stuff specific to dramatis can go to dramatis@googlegroups.com; actor-talk@googlegroups.com is ostensibly for stuff that might be of interest across actor implementations.... more » By Steven Parkes  - Aug 21 2008 - 4 new of 4 messages

	now in jython!
	I talked to Ted Leung at OSCON and he reminded me that now that the alpha of jython 2.5 is out, jython's very up to date. Since dramatis runs on python 2.5, what about jython 2.5? First actor run on jython: mbp:pingpong smparkes$ jython actor.py 1000 ping: pingpong 1000 pong: pingpong 501 ping: pingpong 500... more » By Steven Parkes  - Jul 24 2008 - 1 new of 1 message

	misc design notes
	Steve and I have been chatting on irc and private email about an application I am writing using the dramatis library. In my application I have a series of computationally expensive calculations to perform. For the purposes of this email, assume I have 10 computations to perform. Of those 10, 2 of them are dependent on 2... more » By Chuck Remes  - Jul 22 2008 - 8 new of 8 messages

	service locator?
	What are some of the common/recommended patterns for registering and locating services provided by Actors in a distributed system? I am working on some code that looks like it will lend itself very nicely to the Actor model. When an update event arrives, a "shared" Actor will update itself. The update will also trigger the... more » By Chuck Remes  - Jul 14 2008 - 9 new of 9 messages
