A lot of people were interested in participating in activities between
regular meetings, such as the fixtures meetup a few weeks ago. Some
future activities may be exploring Rails 3 and fixing Bundler. More
discussion on that topic later.
A few people recommended this book for it's handling of how to get out
of code messes: Michael Feathers' "Working Effectively with Legacy
Code": http://bit.ly/d5HgBj
