Hi,

@postmodern and myself have been working a canonical ruby project metadata library over the last several months. One vital aspect of such a library is a Version model. It wit we have developed a very feature rich set of classes for this. Recently I decided it would be a good idea to spin this code off as it's own project. That's when I discovered your library.

I looked over your project and it looks very well done. It is, though, *mostly* a subset of functionality of our project. So, I am in hopes that you would be interested in joining forces, so together we can offer the best overall version library to the Ruby community. There are some useful parts of your library that ours lacks, some of which I have already taken the liberty to incorporate. If you would be interested in this collaboration, we could finish porting any missing features, essentially merging your project into ours, and thus provide an even better library than either of us could provide alone.

Our collaboration style is one of "rational dialog". For the most part we discuss every significant feature thoroughly to ensure a general consensus. It can be a bit pains-taking but it leads to better overall design.

You can find our work [here](https://github.com/dotruby/version)

Hope to hear from you soon,
