Hi Everyone,

I am interested in finding out if anyone has looked into the  
feasibility of porting Ruby and RoR to the Google Android Open Source  
phone SDK. Has anyone considered this?

Since Android has Java support, could the JRuby work be leveraged in  
this case?

Android just seems like too big an opportunity to pass up. The Ruby  
and RoR community can probably contribute a lot to this effort.

If you wish to discuss, just post here.

I see that this could be interesting for JRuby, but I don’t really see  
why I would like to run RoR on any mobile device…
