Hi,

My proposal is to port Google’s Web ToolKit [1] functionality to  
RubyJS [2]. I think it’s more advanced than simply porting the code  
from Java to RubyJS, because Ruby doesn’t require interfaces, has  
open-classes and features meta-programming (limited to “compile-time”  
for RubyJS).

I think it’s a great opportunity for a student to get attention  
(especially) from Google 😉

Regards,

Michael

Seconded! I love GWT, but I’ve always said the worst thing about it  
is that you have to code in Java to use it.
