 Working through Matt Aimonetti's basic example for how to communicate
 between Macruby and JS using a webview instance and a windowScriptObject,
 I discovered that I had to call "respondsToSelector(my_instance_method)"
 on my ruby object in order to make my_instance_method accessible from
 within javascript. The following gist shows a macruby class
 (BratPackDelegate) that is trying to provide access to a ruby class called
 Project to javascript within an HTML page loaded by a webview (the HTML/JS
 is also included in the gist):

 https://gist.github.com/923663

 If line 43 of bratpackdelegate.rb (@project.respondsToSelector("start"))
 is removed, then line 13 of home.html (project.start()) no longer
 functions.

 Matt asked me to post this bug here so I am doing so.

 Please contact me if any additional information or explanation is needed.

 thanks,

 Greg Borenstein
