I have some problems when I develop my source plugin.

1) Ruby version
My plugin depends on ripper(Ruby script parser).

http://i.loveruby.net/archive/ripper/ripper-0.0.5.tar.gz
  
If we adopt Ruby-1.7.x, ripper can't be compiled. 
(though the modification for ripper may not be large 
in order to works with Ruby-1.7.x.)

2) FreeBase Slot ['/system/ui/current/EditPane']
This slot doesn't work.
When I show the content of this slot with DataBusInspector,
the DataBusInspector window doesn't respond to my action.  

3) real-time analysis
The current version of the source browser parses 
ruby script if the "update" command is executed.

It may be possible to synchronize the source with 
the source browser automatically. But, to achieve this,
the Editor pane creation event and the Editor pane change event
must be hooked. I hope Editor API discussion solves this problem.
