Hi list

I was just contacted to mentor somebody about FXRuby. This is not my  
specialty to use an euphemism ☹

If somebody would be interested in doing some mentorship please raise  
your hands.

Links to any good introductionary material, which seems difficult to  
find would be appreciated too.

Ty all in advance.

Robert

A good first step for that person would be to subscribe to the  
foxgui-users and fxruby-users mailing lists. I have a strong hunch  
that he hasn’t done that yet. 😉 There are instructions on how to do  
that at the FOX and FXRuby home pages, respectively.

He’s probably not going to find a dedicated mentor there, but he may  
in fact end up with a community of mentors, which may work out just as  
well.
