The "Hybris" referred to in the RubyGarden poll is a Model/View GUI
toolkit I've been working on for some time. It's written in pure Ruby, on
top of RubyX11 and MetaRuby. I only mentioned it once on this list, so
most people who know it are on IRC.OpenProjects.Net (channel #ruby-lang).
This includes Dave Thomas, to whom I tried to explain that, but he
wouldn't listen to me ;-)

Actually, although some may really call it a GUI toolkit, I'd call it "one
slider and a bunch of labels", or something. ;-) 

The repository is :pserver:cvs.ruby-lang.org:/src and the directory is
lib/hybris. You need also lib/xlib and lib/metaruby (the tarballs are
always too out of date for Hybris).

BTW, I'd like a port to NCurses soon, and I'd like more widgets and stuff,
so if someone wants to give me a hand, reply to this.
