Hi Ben,

I''d put in a big vote for an IronRuby editor done up in Silverlight.
I''ve got a bunch of 500 or so users who are struggling to get a grasp
on
IronRuby who would thank you as well, we get lots of Ruby usage
questions on our forums
http://www.mysipswitch.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6 (that link is also
for a free, open source project so no plugging is involved here). Any
kind of syntax highlighting and/or test execution would definitely help
people who aren''t that used to scripting let alone Ruby to get a handle
on things.

Regards,

Aaron
