When somebody makes a packet for ruby, it will be possible to install ruby with OpenMoko - AFAIK is this not done yet and I can imagine that ruby will be not installed by default (But I'm just a listmember and not memeber of the core developing team). Of course ruby is a language with a great potential, but consider that the Neo1973 is still an embedded device with limited recources. So a concentration on some used languages will save recources and will make cooperation more easy. Developing and learning with OpenMoko could be more fruitfull when using languages which are used with OpenMoko regulary. That I moved with your mail to the other list is not personal, every idea or questions seems to deal with development, so on the first view you have choosen the right mailinglist. But what for what does we need then the community mailinglist? We have a second development list to make it people who are working on a concret programming project with OpenMoko more easy to start - to find informations... So a general question "will be xy comming with OpenMoko" is a community question ;) And don't get me wrong, on a long term (next months) it would be very fine to have the power to use ruby with OpenMoko, that people having good programs/skripts with ruby could also use them with OpenMoko. With google you will find some talk about ruby on the community mailinglist, and when the first Neos are shipped, I think some of the first users will play/use Ruby so that then it will be more to read/discuss. Maybe some other ruby interested people on this community list? (community list is older and has much more members) Beside Ruby you are also welcome to share your ideas/whishes about an open Linux Smartphone ;) Greetings, rob _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
