(SoC) Ruby bindings

[Damien Pollet <da...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'd like to participate to the Google Summer of Code by helping on the
language bindings. I'm most interested in Ruby.

My first naive idea was to do it the tedious way, because it's
possible to make the binding use Ruby idioms, naming conventions, etc.
This is the approach followed for the Ruby-Gnome2, AFAIK.

However, since the SWIG bindings are already in good shape and share
definitions with the bindings to other languages, I think it's better
to continue with them. To be honest I don't know SWIG precisely (yet),
so it's probably possible to satisfy my sense of ruby aestetics with
it, or with a wrapping layer in Ruby. I'll investigate. (and I'm also
interested in Jim's approach indeed.)

Regards,

Sure!
However, tasks should be as independant as possible, so that we can
both claim our share of the work. Unfortunately I don't have much time
these days to look into that precisely, so we probably need help from
the maintainers here.

Cheers,

Hi Damien,

I've also been working on an SoC proposal related to the Ruby
bindings. Perhaps we can separate the work needed on the Ruby bindings
into sections, so that it will be possible for both of our projects to
get approved?

Cheers,

David
