Hi, Thanks folks. I should explain the status of Ruby-GNOME2 and me ;). At first, I need to comment some points.

The next version of Ruby-GNOME2 will be stable again. # But we can't test the whole of APIs yet, I hope your helps more. The most causes to delay developing Ruby-GNOME2 is that I couldn't spend my private time to develop Ruby-GNOME2. * My business has been so busy for a long time. You may surprise this thing, I work 10:00am to 23:00pm now. It's not so special thing in Japan. But actually I've not have enough spare times. Unfortunately, it will continue until next March. # My business is not related both of Ruby and Ruby-GNOME2. * Develop Ruby-GetText-Package for Ruby on Rails. I needed to make it as the most useful L10n library for Rails. So I concentrated to improve it on 4th quoters. * Helped some sections of "The Ruby Way second edition" I wrote Ruby-GetText section and updated Ruby-GNOME2 section. It was valuable experience but it consumed my private times. * Helped some other Japanese books for Ruby on Rails. > I just wanted to add a couple of things to Joao's excellent explanation > of the current status of Ruby-GNOME 2's project.

And also many sub-libraries are maintained by non-Japanese. # I admit I'm not good at English, though. If you feel there is a few replying messages recently from me, it's just my problem which I describe it above. Second, I explain the status of Ruby-GNOME2. The last month, I've been back to develop Ruby-GNOME2 again. Already, Ruby/GTK, GdkPixbuf, GDK, Pango have been updated completely against the newest version of GTK+, Pango. Now I'm working to update Ruby/ATK, and next, I'll update Ruby/GLib and other gnome stuff. Then, I'll release the new version of Ruby-GNOME2. It will be the end of this year. But I've not have enough time for developing Ruby-GNOME2 yet. Any helps are welcomed. |
