The developers of ruby-gtk2, on which ruby-maemo is built are planning a new release soon. This is great news, because they say they have fixed the mainloop polling that causes the CPU to wakeup around 100 times a second, killing the battey.

However, the developer (Tom Swindell) of ruby-maemo (the Hildon bindings) seems to have disappeared and I don't have the ruby-maemo source code. Do you? Is anyone planning to maintain it? Should we break ruby-maemo into ruby-hildon and ruby-gtk2?

Is anyone actually using ruby-maemo (apart from me)?

Any discussions on this stuff would be welcome. It would even be nice just to find out who else uses ruby-maemo!

Hi Mark,

I've just bought an N810 and one of the first things I went looking for was Ruby. I've installed the ruby-maemo packages that you've kindly made available in lieu of Tom's site being down.

I'm especially interested in access to either documentation or source-code - making my tinkering a little more efficient than my current:

;-)
