The idea is that this gem just enhances and takes one step further what the existing libxml-ruby API is already doing. If anyone here is currently active on the libxml-ruby project, maybe they should take a look at it. I believe its worthy for inclusion into the main libxml project and would like to see it merged-in. http://github.com/dreamcat4/libxml-bindings Otherwise will probably rename libxml-bindings to something more obvious like "libxml-ruby-enhance", "libxml-ruby-ext", etc to make the relationship more clearer.

Although my overview of the extensions are cursory, from what I see I'd throw my hat in with them being added to main project.

Just send an email to dreamcat4 (at gmail) and i can sort out access / permissions whatever. I also emailed Phil Bogle, and he agrees / supports. (Phil who is credited to the original idea).

But we can circulate / ask here on the gnome libxml mailinglist. As this project is an offshoot of that one. You never know, maybe some ruby people (and C people!!) hang out on that list. dreamcat4 dreamcat4 at gmail.com
