Hello,

As I mentioned in my blog several times:

http://blog.mmediasys.com/2010/08/07/exciting-times-for-rubyinstaller-project/
http://blog.mmediasys.com/2010/09/23/rubyinstaller-what-where-when-1/

RubyInstaller, while imperfect, covered a huge ground base to start
pushing One-Click Installer into retirement safely.

I'm planning on mark this as the obituary of the work by Andy Hunt and
Curt Hibbs over the years; archiving One-Click Installer packages in
RubyForge.

I started to use Ruby on Windows thanks to it, and appreciated all the
things that made easy to get started when I had no idea of Ruby on
Windows.

Today, I wouldn't be caring so much for Ruby on Windows if wasn't for
all the time and dedication these guys put into the project.

While is time to say goodbye to it, I'm not going to say that I will
miss it, as I still consider the spirit and the driving force of the
project is still present on RubyInstaller (in a minimalistic way)

Cheers,

Farewell OCI, and very many thanks to everyone involved over the
years. Here's to a bright future for RubyInstaller and Ruby on
Windows. Cheers, guys.

I've also benefited greatly from the OCI. Many, many thanks to those
who made it possible.

The OCI was a fantastic project that allowed me to teach and get
involved with Windows-centric people in a few large scale companies.
I've taught a large number of classes - internal and external to
people new to Ruby, using OCI as a basis. I'm looking forward to
working on a decent development chain and platform specific
compilation. It's not going to be easy, but I am looking forward to
parity at some point with *nix.

Cheers,

Charley
