Subject: Web Testing with Ruby

It is open source. But it is ugly. Some of it is on sourceforge and we need 
to put more there. We'd appreciate any help.

http://rubyforge.org/projects/wtr/
http://www.testing.com/scripting-for-testers.html

There is also commentary and stuff about this at rubygarden.org, 
testingeducation.org, clabs.org, rubyforge.com and i need to blog about 
this. I've been too busy programming and development to do much writing on it.

No. We committed to Ruby long ago. But i would really like someone to 
develop a similar testing framework in Python. There is already a similar 
library in Perl called Sammie.
