[MacRuby-devel] Supported classes & methods diagram fed from rubyspec

[Ben Schwarz]

Laurent,

I just had a quick chat with Brian Ford (Rubinius) apparently they're  
looking at using some incarnation of git://github.com/madriska/ 
unity.git (http://unity.madriska.com/)
Which uses a YAML formatter for mspec. (http://github.com/madriska/mspec/commit/36b8bce62c272d546bcbd8ab9f136576ff4701e5 
)

I think this might be the best way to get something that works  
running. I'm sure that all the ruby implementations would benefit from  
the shared work effort in this regard.
We could start by investigating unity, chatting to the author and  
seeing if we can make some contributions.
