Wow that's a great idea to tie it together with YAML for the text. I 
think I may implement it, since it help the GUI be cleaner :)

"more funner" that is.

Does anybody use Tk these days?  Any plus 1's out there for Tk?
:)

Re: HTML I thought the other day to try and tie "button clicks" etc., 
back in to server-side code, kind of like what wicket does in java (at 
least I think that's what wicket does).  Does anybody know if anything 
like that exists today in ruby land?

Like

html_page = HtmlPage.new 'template_file'
html_page['button1'].on_clicked_in_browser {
  html_page['text_field1'].text = 'hello there'
}
render html_page

and callbacks for form validation, etc.

That type of thing?  I'm familiar with rails' ajax callbacks, which 
basically allow you to edit raw html, but something that wraps html 
pages "in ruby classes" at all?

Thanks!
