The critical question, then, is how to create an environment that allows (nay, encourages!) frameworks to be created, tested, polished, documented, indexed, shared, etc. My intuition is that GitHub should be part of this, because it promotes free-flowing cooperation, merging, etc. However, I'm quite sure that GitHub isn't the entire solution. So, ideas are welcome!

One thing I've been considering since watching your RubyConf presentation via confreaks is auto-generating documentation about what's mapped to what. I haven't looked at the code enough to know if it's feasible, but I'd like to see something like:

text_field -> NSTextField (selectable: false, bordered: false, ...) #i.e. the defaults

Most of these would be obvious, but are currently "hidden" away down in the MacRuby source. I'd like to see mappings both ways, so as someone who knows a bit of cocoa I can easily go check if NSFoo has been wrapped by someone and what the wrappings are. I love how the mappings are implemented, but I won't be able to keep them all in my head!

Cheers,

Chris
