Subject: scada: killer app for ruby

Hi All,

In searchning for scada systems on the net, i noticed that they are usually
written in c/c++/c# and most of the systems are proprietary (eg, citect,
rockwell) and worst, a lot are running in windows system. There are gnu
scada systems sprouting but are very very alpha.

I think ruby can bridge the gap bw the crude yet reliable plc and the
ubiquitous but unreliable (windows) gui...

kind regards -botp
