It all depends on how much time I can put into it since I have a full day job etc. The CSS part is my main concern, I think this is a missing piece in the Ruby world. Maybe I'll put up a project at rubyforge before it's finished and see if there's someone who's interested in helping out. I have my other project http://rubyforge.org/projects/hessian to look out for as well, but it's a kind of (don't know the english word) narrow technology and dosen't take to much time at the moment, so we'll see.
