AFAICT, nothing has happened on this front since then.

In the meantime, the sikuli_ruby Gem [1] has been abandonned, and our
current best option for upstreaming seems to be Rukuli [2], that seems
quite alive (10 contributors, a few commits every month).

[1] https://github.com/chaslemley/sikuli_ruby
[2] https://github.com/andreanastacio/Rukuli

anonym, bertagaz: want to have a(nother) look, and decide if you
prefer to do the upstreaming work now, or to commit to maintain our
own sikuli/rjb adapter on the long run?

Cheers,
