    The ruby bindings have a ways to go yet. The kde-bindings list is full of errors and minor bugs wrt ruby.

    A better binding is PyKDE -- which is now part of KDE CVS, has lots of testing, full featured, etc.

    There's a lot more information about what will be going on at the KDE wiki at http://wiki.kde.org. There are plenty of opportunities to contribute, too - even if you're not a programmer or 'power user'. Take a look, for example at KDE Community World Summit under "Coding Marathon" for a list of teams that will be present.

    As an example, I'm on the documentation team, and we've got plenty planned. Check out KDE Documentation @ aKademy for more details.

    OK, that's enough advertising for one comment...
