[LRUG] Timetabling library in Ruby

[Luis Correa d'Almeida]

Hello all

Wondering if anyone has published/knows of any gems/libraries in Ruby
that can compute timetables based on a set of simple restrictions
(people can only be in one place at a time, meeting rooms can only
hold one meeting at a time, etc...) Classic example would be building
the schedule for a university.

There are some implementations in Java, but I'd rather not go down
that path. In case you are interested, links below.
