You could be crazy... but thats not the issue.

Ruby desktop seems like a fantastic idea.  But borrowing as much existing code
would be much better.

It would probably be better to use ruby as a gtk controller, replacing the
lower levels as you go along.  Other windows tool kits exist...

I am interested in the very light weight systems, something like cybiko
(dissapointing) or a highly computational blackberry.  Ruby would be fantastic
as a virutal machine on a handheld, and a matching system could be made for a
device like tivo or webtv.

Ruby objects would travel thru the ether to be received and pushed to the dt or
possibly a browser.

If such a project could become the center of a micro industry, I think many
would be interested.  Ruby is so young, the design model is still being
crafted.

Count me in !!   I have a server running http://puny.vm.com that is available
for you if you want, 

Goto the menu -> join -> click want to contribute to get a login, web space,
etc.
