Hi David, Sounds like a good idea, but I think we can just mention this in the existing EmbedRubyCocoa page. Unless you want something specialized? You are anyway welcomed to create new pages on the Wiki :-) Laurent On May 26, 2007, at 7:01 PM, David wrote: > Love the web site.. would like to make one request to add a > "requirements" page, especially what requirements there are for an > end-user to use an embeddable RubyCocoa App (OS X version requirement > in particular).. may also be useful to keep track of what versions > work with which OS versions.. > > On May 22, 2007, at 1:35 PM, Laurent Sansonetti wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I am honored to announce the immediate release of RubyCocoa 0.11.0. >> >> RubyCocoa is a Mac OS X framework that allows Cocoa programming in >> the >> object-oriented scripting language Ruby.
