Yes. 
If you are interested in Ruby/GTK-2.0, Ruby/GNOME-2.0,
see Ruby-GNOME2(http://sourceforge.net/projects/ruby-gnome2/).

There are also Ruby-GNOME2 Mailing list though it is 
for Ruby-GNOME2 developers only.

I think I will do it, but I don't have enough time now.

When I started Ruby-GNOME2, I evaluted 3 way to implement it.

1. implement it by hand(same as Ruby-GNOME)
2. using SWIG
3. using *.defs(like python-gtk)

Then I decided it was better way to use 1.
So we have started to implement Ruby-GNOME2 by hand.
