What's Ruby-GNOME2?
===================
Ruby-GNOME2 is a set of Ruby language bindings for
the GNOME 2.x development environment.

Supported libraries are:
Ruby/GLib2, Ruby/GdkPixbuf2, Ruby/Pango, Ruby/GTK2
Ruby/GNOME2, Ruby/GnomeCanvas2, Ruby/Libart2, Ruby/Libglade2
Ruby/GConf2

What's Ruby/GtkSourceView?
==========================
Ruby/GtkSourceView is a wrapper for GtkSourceView.
Geoff Youngs maintains it.

Geoff's introduction:
GtkSourceView is a syntax highlighting, multi-line text editing widget
for GTK+2.  It is currently at version 0.2.0 and is used, among other
things, by the latest version of GEdit, the GNOME 2 text editor.

It is a subclass of GtkTextView, the mutli-line text editor widget that
comes with GTK+ and can be used (more or less) as a drop in replacement
for the TextView widget.

It comes with several syntax files for highlighting languages such as C,
C++, Python etc, but the syntax is fairly straightforward for designing
more.  A ruby one has already been created and will be included in the
Ruby/GtkSourceView distribution at least until it is accepted upstream.

The interface is quite straight forward - you can select languages by
mime type or by enumerating them etc.

It is used in RUDE - which is currently very much pre-alpha and will
probably destroy huge wadges of code if you try to use it for anything -
but which is available from http://rox-ruby.sf.net/
