Pure X11
========
This library is now on Rubygems.org as "pure-X11" as I (vidarh) has not had a
response from the original author. If that should change, I'll be happy to
upstread everything.
(under-development) Pure Ruby implementation of the X Window System Protocol.
This library is based off of Mathieu Bouchard's work on his RubyX11 project,
and Richard Ramsdens excellent start on Ruby-X11.
Current known use (all mine...):
* [RubyWM](https://github.com/vidarh/rubywm) - Pure Ruby window manager
* [Skrift-X11](https://github.com/vidarh/skrift-x11) - X11 integration for pure Ruby Truetype font rendering
* Rebar - not yet published wm toolbar
* RubyTerm (name TBD) - not yet published version of Ruby terminal
If you're thinking of using pure-x11, drop me a note and I'll start being more
cautious about breaking changes ;)
Contributors
------------
There is still quite a bit of work to do on this repository. If you're thinking
about contributing you may want to look over the PDF in the docs folder which documents
the X Window System Protocol.
