I find it encouraging that ThoughtWorks is selling Ruby on Rails expertise on their website. Althought that shouldn't come as a surprise since their chief scientist has come out of the Ruby closet already long ago...
What I'm curious about, though, is the sentence "ThoughtWorks employs some of the world's leading Ruby developers and committers to the Rails project" on the page. Now I might not be all up to speed on the Rails community's who's who, but I've been living under the assumption that none of the Rails committers are working for ThoughtWorks? Especially since the WorkingProfessionallyWithRails page in the Rails wiki lists only two TWers, neither of which are committers. Maybe they got "committer" and "contributor" mixed?

Re: Ruby at ThoughtWorks
May be its just that Mr Martin Fowler want s to push his firms value proposition into new markets somehow(similar to other hightech consulting firms like Accenture or Deloitte do)

Money. Don't think that having an Agile person will prevent a consulting company from claiming something most people won't notice in order to make a buck. :)
