SketchUp IDE?
-
Back in my Java days I used Eclipse and NetBeans - two IDEs both as good as only a zillion hours of development could make an IDE.
Here we've got Jim's WebConsole. A big step up from the Ruby Console, but not even in the neighborhood of Python's IDLE. (I am undecided on whether I prefer IDLE's simplicity to Eclipse/NetBeans power.)
Is an intelligent Ruby editor, with syntax-highlighting and a one-key execution command (trivial in an interpreted language) a good first step?
Or is that a false step? Remember that your SketchUp UI may be in JavaScript and it may be more than half the code. Hmmm. Any thoughts?

Just some links to investigate:
d/Code (under software tab): http://errorinitus.de/#
And that's about it.

one idea is to gather of features that we would like to see implemented in SURIDE (Sketchup Ruby IDE)
... then start implementing themhere is my mindmap when I brainstormed for a debugger (~2006)

Hmm, I would simply like to see that ugly "one line text box" and "scrolled text" output (aka: Ruby Console) become a Python IDLE Shell clone. Just being able to enter multi-line code would be a God send and increase productivity.
But a real built-in SuIDE would be even better! Python IDLE is a good template. Simple, user friendly, written in Tk, need i say more? but whatever it is written in, just do it man!
SU8 is comming!

Very nice!
Is that FreeMind? How do you get the thick lines?

Let's try the plural: "do it men!" You too, of course.

nope, it is MindManager
let's start with a public file where we can gather the requirements and see what we will code - SURIDE req list. feel free to join in and post your wishes
