It's supposed to be a fun way to learn some new things, and a hopefully fun enough that people get others interested. It's nice to have a clean specification like CSS to implement, so I can focus on the implementation, rather than the interface. My plan would be to create UI primitives in C++ first, and make then available to Ruby. This rather than adopting Qt or Tk similiar, since it would have a lot of things I don't need. It would be great if there was a way to combine efforts. -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@engrm.com - http://engrm.com/blogometer/
