Use PicoGUI for a new design?

Hi,

currently, I am in the process of designing a media player application to
be run on an embedded device with a touchscreen.

Language of choice is Ruby. OS is GNU/Linux, graphics via framebuffer.

Now I am looking for an easy way to get a nice, flexible, touchscreen-
compatible GUI for my system. PicoGUI looks very promising, though a Ruby
API would have to be implemented. The only alternative so far seems to be
a toolkit like rubygame, based on SDL, where I would have to reinvent the
widget stuff.

PicoGUI development has ceased and I am unsure if it would be wise, to
build a new design on top of it. If it is feature-complete and bugfree
(enough) -- why not?

Any insight appreciated.

Regards,
--
