I’ve started a Ruby GUI toolkit Feature Matrix [1]. It is far from
complete, but it covers a few basic ones. Feel free to edit and add
any that I have most certainly missed.
I am going to touch this again in a few days and research the
licensing and get x-platform holes filled in.
If this duplicates another effort, please let me know.
I plan on adding other columns as they become apparent. Such as a
“Gem?” collumn. Ruby version dependency (1.8, 1.9).

I’ve been working with the IUP toolkit in C for the past week or so; and
I see where it has a ruby binding ruby-iup . I’ve been really
impressed with the toolkit itself. ruby-iup failed to build for me, but
that may well be due to my specific box ( I tend to get a lot of
bleeding edge libs and such in the way on my box ) since it looks like
the source is fairly recent.
an old one but more complete with several samples and some doc (a part
of the doc is only in Japanese) : http://www.osk.3web.ne.jp/~nyasu/vruby/vrproject-e.html
there’s a link to a formdesigner, but it doesn’t work with Ruby 1.9.

Yes, I planned on adding some platform specific ones, esp. win32 ones.
I like the first one as it uses FFI and has a simpler syntax.
Both look like worthy additions to the chart. Feel free to add them.
a) mailing list URL, or mailto link
b) twitter tag, if any
There is a column for source repo, which usually contains this info at
the bottom of README, but it might be helpful if someone has a single
source for the info.
though i’m very interested in what else the community has to offer!

Ruby has GNOME, and KDE/Qt bindings, as well as wxWidgets bindings.
For JRuby, there’s Monkeybars (for Java’s GUI).
Cross-platform support generally exists for Ruby 1.8.6 on Windows.

there was a spreadsheet?? really i’d like to see a nice GUI roundup for
ruby. for most of my projects that need a (simple) GUI i’ve been using
gosu
(yes, the game engine) and it’s served me better than anything else i’ve
tried. though i’m very interested in what else the community has to
