Hi Jordi, Plugins are certainly welcome, but I'm not sure what a web games framework entails. It's very open-ended and unclear what it'd provide. Building a framework from scratch rather than extracting one from existing games is likely to miss the mark, too, and I see very few open source Rails web games.
