INTERESTING THREADS
Build problems for FOX, FXRuby and FXScintilla?
Many people seem to be having problems building FOX, FXRuby and
the FXScinitilla packages. The author of FXRuby, Lyle Johnson
made some recommendations on a strategy to try and get each one
working. These are required dependencies for anyone wanting to
try out the FreeRIDE([11]) release candidate one.
Ruby on IRC
I couldn’t have said it better then Yohanes Santoso did. IRC is
a valuable resource and is lots of fun. I’ll see you there!
Read his post to see what I mean.
RAA.your_project(name).freeze!
NAKAMURA, Hiroshi has announced that come early next year the
projects in the RAA will have their project names frozen.
Project owners are urged to have a think if their chosen
project names are appropriate for RAA users to remember. The
reason for this freeze is to improve co-operation with
RAA-install([12]). Go here([13]) and search RAA with your name.

Happy New Year
Happy New Year to the Ruby community! This has been the first
year of the RWN and we have had a great time bringing it to
you. We hope it is of use to some people out there. Looking
forward to 2003.
