Merge with ncursesw?

[gauteh]

Hi,

I am currently the maintainer of the ncursesw gem (https://rubygems.org/gems/ncursesw, originally based on the seemingly unmaintained: http://ncurses-ruby.berlios.de/) which we host as part of the sup-heliotrope project: https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/ncursesw-ruby.

It seems that this project is overlapping, but I think that our implementation is slightly more extensive. Would it be worth the effort to join the projects?

Complement issue: sup-heliotrope/ncursesw-ruby#22

Regards, Gaute

I don't mind merging ncursesw-ruby into this repository.

[gauteh]

does this Curses support the wide version of ncurses?

It might not be worth the effort, I think merging would be a matter of
closing one of the two projects.

I don't know about support, I'll need to check when I get to my computer, but the extconf.rb can detect ncursesw (https://github.com/ruby/curses/blob/master/ext/curses/extconf.rb#L33) and you can draw characters in the Unicode basic multilingual plane to the terminal.

Are you going to merge it? If you want I can help.

Hello, I'm the original author of this binding.

ncursesw looks feature rich but it has a different concept from this project,
so I'd like to maintain this project for my own use rather than closing.

@drbrain Could you add me to the owners of this gem if you don't have enough time for this project?

You are now an owner, @shugo
