[MacRuby-devel] Request for feedback on new tutorial

[Nick Ludlam]

Oh you're right, that hadn't even occurred to me! I'm still thinking in non-GC terms with my Obj-C code because it's all influenced by iOS development.

I'll fix up the wrapper source and tutorial accordingly, and post back with the URLs for the website and example git project.
