Amen to all of those...

I'm very glad that people within Apple see the potential of RubyCocoa.
Having RubyCocoa pre-installed is obviously a plus.
But bringing RubyCocoa to the attention of the public is
still very much dependant on the community I think.

So maybe the question is, is there some sort of wish-list of
areas that should be covered on RubyCocoa.com? Tim?

One wish I have, is a guide about adding compatibility with frameworks
to RubyCocoa. Which I am working on at the moment.
But doing it and writing some good documentation about it
are 2 completely different things, as I have noticed, but it'll get there :)

We definitely need one of them cool-kids
abreviations, e.g. RuCo :).  (I'm just lazy by nature)

Well, like I said before, just thinking out loud.
But one thing is for sure, I'm planning on using RuCo a lot
for the next coming years.....
And hope that starting from 10.5 the interest will grow exponentially!
