I’ve created a new page on website to list applications using  
Ruby-GNOME2. I think it can improve the knowledge of the public about  
your applications, and help the Ruby-GNOME2 project to become more  
credible because visitors will see that actual applications do use  
Ruby-GNOME2.

[http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Applications](http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Applications)

If you are the author of application(s) using Ruby-GNOME2 (any of rg2  
subbindings, actually) please send me the name of your application(s)  
followed by a short explanation of your application and a link to the  
website of your application. Something looking like:

-=-=—=-=—=-=—=-=—=-=–

- booh

Booh is a free software static Web-Album generator for Linux. It takes  
series of photos and videos, and automatically build static web pages  
to browse them.

This is a great idea, I see this as an additional way to “collect”  
useful ruby-gnome apps. From the list posted above I actually knew 0  
projects 🙂

Hi,

Here are the two apps I’ve released in the last years. Thanks for the  
idea and keep up the good work.

================  
Duby

Duby is a space explorer, a disk scanner to show why your newly bought  
huge hard disk is already full. You never suspected your music folder  
to be that big.

Duby helps you find what takes the most space on your disk, visually,  
with a nice representation of your space as a pie, with files and  
directories acting as slices of that pie. The bigger the slice is, the  
bigger the file is.

[http://duby.rubyforge.org](http://duby.rubyforge.org)

================  
rubyroom

Rubyroom is a full-screen text editor. Full screen gives you a  
complete workspace for your text, and nothing else. No IM windows  
popping up, no more “you got mail” small animations on the background  
that take away your concentration.

I’m working on a Japanese learning aid called  
JLDrill. I actually haven’t released anything for  
a year, but I’ve been actively working on it.  
I wanted to have released the latest version by  
now, but I’ve been swamped at work. However,  
the release is imminent (i.e., I just have to find  
enough time to upload it).

Features of the new version include spaced  
repetition algorithm, dictionary (Edict) cross  
reference, indicators for certain parts of  
speech, JLPT4 - JLPT1 vocabulary quizes,  
kana quizes, start of a grammar quiz based  
on Tae Kim’s guide to Japanese grammar,  
Rikai-chan like kanji popup information including  
stroke order diagrams.

The page is [jldrill.rubyforge.org](http://jldrill.rubyforge.org), but it’s ancient  
right now. I’ll hopefully get a release done  
in the next few days if I can get away from  
work and social commitments for a couple of  
hours.

I am currently writting an audio player (my first application).

ZiK is an audio player based on gstreamer. ZiK does not used a music  
library instead it relies on audio files path. ZiK is still in  
developpement. The code is based on ruby/gtk2 and ruby/gst bindings.

Tried to save that, was greated with “Input is treated as SPAM.”.
