We have just goten started on wxRuby, which is now hosted at savannah (we
plan, eventually, to mirror the project at sourceforge). The main homepage

won't find much substance there, yet (as I said we are just getting
started).

we can use your initial work to accelerate the project.

What is it about this port that makes it windows only?
