Hello All, There seems to have been a lot of interest in getting wxScintilla incorperated, and I think most of us who want it, want it so we can create an editor, so to avoid multiple projects comming out with the same goal (Not really that bad of a problem....), I''m going to kick start this, and ask that anyone interested in developing a Editor with wxRuby and wxScintilla, to send me an Email off list, and I''ll establish an Email List for us to talk about with getting an IDE together. More programmers on a project definatly can help out. Make sure you use the email address that you want to receive the emails from the list on, when you email me. L8ers, Mario Steele

I''ve just scratched the surface and finding it a very handy alternative to TextCtrl + TE_RICH2 for my own apps - much better cross-platform consistency and lots more features. It would be interesting to see how else it can be used. You might want to look into the FreeRIDE project [1] which is a Ruby IDE in ruby. It uses FXRuby + FXScintilla, but they originally intended to switch to wxRuby once it was ready. From experience it''s not usually that hard to rewrite FXRuby to wxRuby GUI code. Development seems to have faltered and there''s some discussion on their list [2] about what the unique ''sell'' of FreeRIDE is given the alternatives from lightweight (eg SCITE) to traditional (Emacs and vi) to heavyweight (NetBeans, Eclipse + DLTK or RDT, Aptana). cheers alex [1] http://freeride.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl [2] http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/freeride-devel/2007-June/000599.html

Hey Alex, I''ve used FreeRIDE before, and am not so much a fan of it. Design and all, is alright, but I''m looking for something a bit more solid. Plus, I''m looking at the possibility of incorperating other stuff into the IDE. Like taking advantage of the wxAUI for one, and creating a XRC Developer to be included with the editor, to bring an all in one application to do just about anything with wxRuby. Giving it something that other IDE''s doesn''t really have.

Hello Lance, I''ve looked over your code for Hamr. And I''m sorry, but I''m not much of a MVC fan, when it comes to developing Applications. To much of a learning curve for me, as I''ve tried working with Ruby On Rails, and could never peg down what I wanted to do, to get something done. Guess it comes from my previous experience with working with other programming languages. Mario Steele Lance Carlson wrote:> What about Hamr?
