Hi Dave, The project is more stable than ever and we are planning a 0.11 release for really soon which should be hopefully followed by a 1.0 release. Laurent recently became a dad and he's currently in parental leave which explains why he didn't contribute too much code recently. MacRuby is now really stable and we want to keep it that way and release 1.0 We have started talking about what the plan is for post 1.0, but you need to realize that many people now really on MacRuby and books are being written so stability is key. I think it would be great to see more open source projects around MacRuby, maybe some people are willing to pick up the work with HotCocoa or contribute new libraries. A better GCD might also be interesting to have. But maybe, instead I should ask you what you are expecting or hoping for?

Hi,
I have been away from MacRuby dev for about 6 months and I am looking to start again and I was wondering if it is still a viable development platform as development seems to have stalled. It has been a long time since the last release and looking back through the list archives I see Laurent seems to have disappeared and the main regular contributor to the git repository is watson1978.
None of this is a criticism as I know how open source project wax and wane but I still live in hope MacRuby will become the main way to develop Cocoa apps in the future especially as it is being accepted into the mac app store.
Dave.
