This was buried at the end of Laurent's last post and I wanted to pull it out and highlight it... FreeRIDE is written entirely in Ruby and is 100% plugin based for easy extension. FreeRIDE has come a long way in the last two years (with Laurent doing most of the work, and a little bit of help from myself and Rich Kilmer). Progress has been slow, but steady. All of us would like to see more features implemented, but we really need more ruby developer's to push this along at a faster clip. Help to make FreeRIDE *your* IDE... the open source Ruby IDE built by the ruby community, for the ruby community. Here are some possible areas in which you could help: * Rails Support -- I'd love to see an optional plugin that provided direct support for developing Rails web applications. * Project Management -- someone is working on this, but he probably could use some help. * Help System -- local help with integrated links to web resources. * Advanced Editing -- template expansion, code completion. * Advanced Code Navigation -- for example, right-click on a name and be able to select "Go to Definition" * Internationalization * Scripting -- a super-simple way for a user to create and use tiny ruby scripts to help automate repetitive operations. * -- Check it out at: http://freeride.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl Thanks, Curt
