I've recently done project work in the area of WS Security (WS [Web Services] Policy derivation from SOAP messages n some OSGI component[WSO2 Carbon platform] implementatons around that..) and have some knowlege on WS security implementations. Also i've recently been working on deploying Ruby Services on Apache Axis2 Engine using JRuby frame work..I Would really like to participate in a Ruby project for GSoc 2009 n would like to have some project ideas to be heard from Ruby people..One of the things i'm really interested in doing is to develop a Ruby Annotation framework (DSL/parser)for a given spec as ruby currently doesn't support this behavior very well. For my opinion this will be really important for WebServices and related stuff as i my self has come across difficulties in not being able to use a proper annotation framework as available in Java or C++. I'm still pretty much new to ruby n it's aspects and hence doesn't know how feasible this is or the scope of this n really appreciate if you all could enlighten me on this . Also i'm open to other project ideas as well and again appreciate your kind reponse. Thnx in advance.. Thnx, Udayanga Shaminda Wickramasinghe --000e0cd50a54d208410463f730c3--
