Answer 1

After reading Martin's answer, I've implemented a gem that implements the REST API for Sharepoint. It's not completely exhaustive, but it's enough for most of the tasks.

You can check out the gem over there: https://github.com/Plaristote/sharepoint-ruby

Looks like Sharepoint is exposing a nice REST API (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj860569(v=office.15).aspx#Reference). Based on this, you should be able to call it easily using a simple rest client such as rest-client.

Should your work be extensive, maybe you could extract a part of it in a sharepoint-api gem. I'm sure this would be useful to other people.
