Ruby Activity Streams Parser

Last week Ruben Fonseca released the first version of a Ruby Activity Streams parser that works with Atom and JSON formats. It’s available on Github and you are encouraged to use it and patch it. We will very much appreciate all the feedback you can provide. Technical details are available on Ruben’s blog. Ruby is pretty readable, so is Ruben’s code, so it should be easy to port it to other languages (start with the spec file).
