[Xapian-devel] Xapian Ruby bindings as a Ruby Gem

[Lukas Rieder]

Hello everyone,

I'm very interested in packaging the Xapian Ruby bindings as a gem for
easier installation and integration into Ruby projects.

I came to this idea, because many Ruby developers face the problem of
installing xapian under hosting service where they have no root rights. And
Xapian is THE essential part of the Rails plugin acts_as_xapian, wich brings
all the Xapian features to the Rails world. This plugin is maintained by me,
Francis the creator has stopped development due to the lack of time.

Could you please tell me who is the maintainer of the Xapian Ruby bindings?
Is there such a project already?
Is someone interested in working on this idea?

Thank you very much,

Lukas Rieder
