The Gnome Desktop has interesting applications that can be extended by plugins written in Python or C. I didn’t find any information about if is possible to write this plugins in Ruby, too. I don’t know if these plugins can’t be written in Ruby or other technical reasons, but we should focus to integrate better Ruby in Gnome. Gedit doesn’t recornize RHTML syntax, an icon for .rb files is still missing, I can’t believe that I’m the one that doesn’t use Mac OS X here… ---

Hi, its not directly a GNOME app, but the upcoming version if gimp is completle scriptable in ruby. Inkscape also suports ruby scripts. > are in plan bindings for nautilus, totem,… ? specialy for this two i see no sense in scripting support. Good candidates for scripting are gnumeric and abiword, but AFAIK simply no one did it for now.

I started to do some SWIG/ruby bindings for evolution-data-server with wich I could do some interesting stuff (like sahring calendars via XMPP). Unfortunately I got burnt be real life workload and studying so I have it basically stalled. If you are interested I can point you to the relevant directions. Cheers, V. Segui ---

The bindings are autogenrated, wich theoretically means you can generate bindings easier once you’ve done some basic plumbing (although IIRC the revolution bindings worked pretty fine). Here is the relevant direction at [www.go-evolution.org/SWIGforEDS](http://www.go-evolution.org/SWIGforEDS). There are some docs on the page also. The bundle is not currently online anymore, but I can send you the code if you are interested. Just PM at vseguip at gmail dot com. Cheers, V. Segui
