In reference to which Desktop should be used in Rubuntu, I think that it ought to be gnome. First of all there isn’t all that grand of support for ruby in either Gnome or KDE, but Gnome seems to have just a little bit more. There are a few interesting applications writting in ruby for gnome such as gnome-art. In addition to this, I think that editors such as cream, scite, gedit, and freeride ought to be included. Documentation is a must too. Ri, fxri, the pickaxe, and why’s book all must be included too. At this point, there aren’t that many games written in ruby, but we’ll have to dig and see what we can find to include because we must have games as well.
I thoroughly endorse thy recommendations, friend. The Gnome must win!
GNUstep has fantastic integration. Write GNUstep apps entirely from Ruby.
I didn’t know that about GNUstep. It has been years! wmaker used to be my favorite window manager 6 years ago, but if it has excellent ruby support then perhaps I ought to try it once more. I will look into GNUstep’s ruby support and see what you are able to do with it and hopefully write some nice apps with it.
