Ruber is a Ruby editor for KDE 4 written in pure ruby, making use of the excellent ruby bindings for KDE 4 (korundum). Ruber is plugin-based, meaning that almost all its functionality is provided by plugins. This has two important consequences: 1) A user can write plugins having availlable all the features availlable to the Ruber developers. In other words, there's not a plugin-specifi API 2) Users can write plugins which replace some of the core functionality of \ Ruber. For example, a user can create a plugin which replaces the default plugin to run ruby programs
