</span><ins>+=== WxSugar ==+
+wxSugar is a set of pure-ruby extensions that work on top of the core
+wxRuby library. wxRuby aims to provide a comprehensive port of the
+wxWidgets GUI API. This means that it inherits some of the rather
+clumsy, verbose syntax of a C++ library. 
+
+Therefore wxSugar wraps the same powerful cross-platform GUI features in
+the ''sweeter'', more expressive syntax that has made the Ruby
language
+popular. Typical ruby-isms include:
+
+* the use of blocks to scope effects, generalise methods and iterate
collections
+* pseudo-keyword-constructors provided by hashes
+* metaprogramming to modularise and transparently extend in-built functionality
+
+As well as enhancing and easing the use of wxRuby, it also provides a
+testing ground for features which may in the future be considered for
+inclusion in the core wxRuby library.
+
+= INSTALLATION +
+The easiest way to install WxSugar is via rubygems. On Windows, open a
+comand prompt and type
+
+ gem install wx_sugar
+
+or, on OS X, Linux and other Unix-ish systems, type
+ 
+ sudo gem install wx_sugar
+
+If you prefer to install from a tarball, simply unpack the package and
+do:
+
+ rake install
+
+or, on OS X, Linux and other Unix-ish systems
+
+ sudo rake install
+
+= DOCUMENTATION +
+Documentation is supplied in lib/wx_sugar.rb and in the individual
+extension files.
+
+= LICENCE +
+WxSugar is licensed under the liberal MIT-like WxRuby2 licence, which is
+compatible with free and commercial software. See LICENCE.txt for more
+details.
+
+= HELP AND FURTHER INFORMATION +
+Questions, suggestions and bugs concerning WxSugar can be discussed on
+the WxRuby mailing lists, or or via the WxRuby Tracker. See the WxRuby
+website for more details:

+http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/
