The sample app is intel-Leopard, I can make it universal-Leopard in a blink,
but I used some new features that are only available in Leopard
(NSPredicateEditor, some NSString messages, etc). I'll try to make a Tiger
compatible version in the next days, sorry for that.

Yes, I've looked at it a lot of times, and I don't know if it is mature
enough, lambda functions and some other things aren't implemented yet. I
made two apps with RubyCocoa, which is more mature (but ruby 1.8 based
instead of 1.9 as MacRuby) and I tried to port one of them (the one called
Lucecita http://github.com/juanger/lucecita) to MacRuby but I haven't been
able to do that yet because of some lacking functionality. Also I am willing
to improve my Obj-C with Cocoa and this is a very good opportunity :).
