From: shevegen@...

Heiler). I think it would be a nice thing to unify ressources onto the *ruby-lang.org main namespace in general. Not just trydiscourse - but I agree with Sam. It may also be useful, provided that it may be possible, to think about having a webforum on ruby-lang.org - but I don't want to really suggest it per se for now, because of work load for others in setting up and maintaining it; which is, I think, another reasno why Sam's suggestion is good, as it is just a read-only mirror. Meaning, it should be simpler for people to read what is going on on the mailing lists for example. I grew up in a world where phpbb was everywhere - I never got into mailing lists, could not handle the traffic. So for people like me, that would be convenient. > ruby forums has been sunset Yes, this is also in a few ways unfortunate; not that ruby forums were that ... important per se, perhaps; and stackoverflow also changed the landscape, but ruby forum was nice in a sense that you did not have to handle mails (if we ignore the spam issue though). I think that there is presently a lack of ruby resources for newcomers and semi-newbies in ruby. We older ruby hackers may not depend as much on resources like that but younger folks may benefit more from it. At any rate, +1 to what Sam wrote. > There are more mailing lists on this server; is the idea that all would be mirrored, > or not? I personally have no preference there, or rather, don't mind either way. I think Martin understands german too :) as I do, but I myself only use the english variants in general, mostly because english is widespread and it lowers the barrier of entry for people participating. Since I think languages should in general help people come together rather than stay away, and also because ruby is sort of a subset of the english language with an OOP focus in mind, I am perfectly fine to just have a read-only mirror for english (or the main language used in the mailing lists). > That one requires running proprietary JS and a corporate > Terms-of-Service, though; and hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) has indicated he's willing > to forward issues there. I think static links and static archives are also fine in addition to that for an archive; blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp format is fine. I guess it should be possible to preserve/use both variants. I think the major point is actually to unify resources onto the main ruby website. One could even think of putting rubygems onto there too, but no worries, I digress here - I just like unified access to a language's resources in general, largely due to "convenience of use" alone. Anyway, let's try to get Sam to have a look at the thread here again and comment. :) ---------------------------------------- Misc #14414: Move https://ruby-talk.trydiscourse.com/ to talk.ruby-lang.org https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14414#change-70132 * Author: sam.saffron (Sam Saffron) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) ---------------------------------------- We created a **read only** mirror of the ruby talk mailing list at: https://ruby-talk.trydiscourse.com/ I would like this moved under the ruby-lang.org domain and to make it official (and linked from ruby-lang.org). As it stands there is no easy to navigate web archive for the mailing list, ruby forums has been sunset. Introducing this will not amend any current workflows, people still use mailman to post to the mailing list. It simply exposes years of history in an easily searchable way to the Internet. Longer term I do want a 2 way bridge provided it is entirely seamless and compatible. But for now this is simply a mirror. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
