Hi Laurent. Just a quick question.

Hi Alan,
I'm afraid the MD* APIs haven't been covered by BridgeSupport yet, so it may not be possible to call it directly from MacRuby at this point. I would recommend to file a bug at http://bugreporter.apple.com so that we can consider this for a future Mac OS X release, and to wrap this C API into an Objective-C class that you can call from MacRuby in the meantime.

Does it make any sense to write wrappers to APIs not covered by BridgeSupport and bundle them in Macruby? (Isn't GCD such a case?).
It would definitely be interesting to share the wrappers, but I don't know if bundling them as part of MacRuby is a good idea. If we start doing that we would have to make sure all wrappers are consistent. And these wrappers would be temporary, until a new version of Mac OS X comes out with the support. I guess that it's better if people share them on Github. We could have a list of them on the website so that people can easily find them. Thoughts? Laurent
