Hi,

I’ve just added the ruby gstreamer bindings as one of the ideas for  
google’s  
summer of code[0] under the umbrella of the gstreamer mentoring  
organisation[1]. So if you are a student and would like to spent your  
summer  
making the ruby gstreamer bindings really rock, please send in a  
proposal 🙂

Related to this. It might be a good idea to add some ideas for  
ruby-gnome2  
under the umbrella of the GNOME mentoring organisations. Binding GIO  
and/or making the bindings more automated (by having parts of it  
generated)  
come to mind as an obvious big task here. What do people think about  
that ?  
I’m happy to make an entry on GNOME’s list of ideas and potentially do  
some  
mentoring for it.

Can’t be of any help with the C-coding, but I could lend a hand with  
testing, documenting the ruby side of it all.

For RG2, just throwing an idea:

- a test suite for the binding itself and a testing framework to help  
application developers write tests

I’m not sure how difficult or easy it is, knowing that it’s not really  
straightforward to write tests for UI stuff.
