This "newsletter" is just part of the contents of http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/contributing for your reading convenience, filtered down to projects with an updated status since last time. A number of the projects have made good progress since a few weeks ago. Please take a look at the projects that interest you, give feedback to the project owners for bugs or features you care about, and discuss ways of being involved if you are interested.
Regards, Shri Mixing Ruby mocking with .NET mocking frameworks Mark Ryall, Ivan Porto Carrero Investigated Moq and NMock and found that they were not a good match. A project called Caricature<http://github.com/casualjim/caricature/> has been started to implement mocking directly in IronRuby Hpricot<http://github.com/nrk/ironruby-hpricot/> Daniele Alessandri Status: the master branch (compatible with Hpricot 0.6.164) and the 0.7_experimental branch (compatible with Hpricot 0.8.1) in the repository both pass all the tests of the original Hpricot test suite, what is left is a major clean up and some refinements to the code. Json<http://github.com/nrk/ironruby-json> Daniele Alessandri Status: it somewhat works but needs to be tested, so bugs are expected at this stage. A rewriting of the original definition file for Ragel is planned to improve the C# code of the ParserEngine class which currently is not so object oriented. IRDb<http://github.com/rvernagus/irdb> Project State: Alpha Developer(s): Ray Vernagus<http://github.com/rvernagus> A Ruby wrapper on top of the .NET Data Provider Model.<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a6cd7c08.aspx> This wrapper will become the basis for an ActiveRecord adapter giving IronRuby developers the ability to use the ActiveRecord gem with their choice of database. Rails<http://rubyonrails.org> Jimmy Schementi, Ray Vernagus Details status about setting up Rails, running the unit tests, etc, is at http://www.ironruby.net/Documentation/Rails. OpenSSL<http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/openssl/rdoc/index.html> Jirapong Nanta Status: There are about 330 methods for OpenSSL library. Less than ten RubySpec<http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/rubyspec> are available. The focus of the project will be implementation the functionality that is needed for RubyGems and Rails scenarios. e.g. OpenSSL::X509::Certificate. Current results of running mspec ci library\openssl can be found here<http://gist.github.com/100649>. Work process: * Checkout ruby 1.8 source code * review OpenSsl implementation in C (ruby_1_8\ext\openssl) * review OpenSsl usage in RubyGems (e.g. rubygems\lib\rubygems\gem_openssl.rb) * write RubySpec * implement a wrapper to System.Security.Cryptography namespaces * Refactor < - > Push Some useful documentations can be found at http://technorama.net/~oss/ruby/openssl/doc/ Porting SOAP Weather Widget<http://silverlight.net/community/gallerydetail.aspx?cat=sl2> Shay Friedman Status - project was created, started porting the Silverlight code. RubyGems Shri Borde, Jirapong Nanta We have reduced the number of failueres from 200+ down to about 20. The current results are here<http://gist.github.com/92738>. The tests can now be run from a Dev.bat<http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/devbat> environment, and will soon be part of continuous integration. So this project is mostly wrapping up (successfully). Cucumber Chamini Gallage Blocking IronRuby bug has been fixed. Need to try again with a newer IronRuby version
