[MacRuby-devel] Noob question: Interface builder not picking up MacRuby definitions

[Matt Massicotte]

Even if it is a known issue, which is very well may be, developer feedback is still extremely important.  Your bug could shed additional light on the problem, could show that external developers are hitting it, or could even be the first report anyone has seen.  I know it's a pain, but external bug reports are very helpful.
