Hi I''m running a short survey on GUI programming in Ruby. If you have a few spare minutes, please consider filling it out. I''m not suggesting you all vote for wxRuby, but all the better if you have nice things to say ;) alex -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Survey Invitation : Ruby + GUI Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:43:29 +0000 From: Alex Fenton <alex@deleteme.pressure.to> Newsgroups: comp.lang.ruby Everyone''s invited to take part in a short survey on using Ruby for GUI programming; I''d be grateful for 5 or 10 minutes of your time at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=o2UwH3KcrOyLxKsh8mOJMg_3d_3d Even if you never do GUI programming in Ruby, please take a minute to respond, as it''s interesting to know why people aren''t using Ruby for this as well as why people are. Non-GUI programmers get a very quick version of the survey. The survey should take no more than 5-10 minutes to complete. That''s unless you have a lot of things you want to get off your chest in the comment boxes - which you''re welcome to do too. All the answers are anonymous. The survey will run for two weeks, after which the results will be posted on the web, with a notice here. The anonymised raw data will also be made available to those who are interested. The background to this is that there are sporadic threads on GUI programming on this group, but little overall picture of Ruby GUI usage emerges. New options for GUI development have emerged in recent year. I''m interested to know who''s doing what, and how Ruby could be a better language for these kind of applications. Thank you to Rubyists who commented on earlier drafts of the survey. Please feel free to forward the survey link to relevant mailing lists etc. Thanks for your support. alex
