These posts are a bit old now but:
Lots of examples linked to in this:

Some lame stuff I did in a few days:

*

This helped me get started in addition to the tutorial:
* http://isaac.kearse.co.nz/2010/02/01/packaging-hotcocoa/
(note: Isaac provided a patch to MacRuby to help with the file size thing)
The current story I think is that Rich Kilmer:
http://wiki.github.com/richkilmer/hotcocoa/
got pulled into other things and didn't have much time to keep it going,
so others have forked it I think:
http://github.com/richkilmer/hotcocoa/network
Dan Sinclair had the most recent work on his branch of it but that was
last updated March 23, 2010:

I'm hoping Rich, Dan, and everyone else that is interested will continue
work on it. It was pretty cool!
