As a developer of FreeRIDE I fully second this project. it has always 
been in the objective of FreeRIDE to offer a collabarative development 
environment. Having a plugin of this kind in FreeRIDE would de really 
neat!! I have recently posted a call for help on ruby-talk for the 
FreeRIDE project and although this item was not in the list of things 
to do it is still very high on the list of highly wanted feature.

Hope this will trigger some interests in the ruby VUG
