Vincent Fiack made a script to build the CVS version of Ruby for the Zaurus. You will need to have the cross compiler installed and a x86 version of ruby to run it.

See Programming for the Zaurus for cross-compiling help.

was silkscreen.sourceforge.net

A terminal multiplexer, something like GNU Screen having a baby with Emacs.

I tested this, but I couldn’t figure out what in the heck to do with it.

(archive 1)
(archive 2)

A telnet client.

It’s Java, but explicitly uses Ruby as its internal language.

It works fairly well for what it is.. but it lacks some basic functionality, namely running a startup script and allowing scripts to set the internal state of the program. So I’m forced to manually load a savefile on startup, and forced to manually connect to a MUD.

was watir.com

A functional testing tool for automating browser-based tests of web applications. It drives the Internet Explorer browser the same way people do. It clicks links, fills in forms, presses buttons. It also checks results, such as whether expected text appears on the page.

I did some simple website testing with it.

Pronounced “water”.
