Subject: Re: "www.ruby-lang.org"  still  down for maintenance - thats not good


Also, not easy to deal with is when the news server doesn't let you post
anymore unless you are subscribed to the ruby-talk list....which sort of
defeats the point of a news server.

As an admin I really sympathize with the admins that are dealing with this
problem but as a Ruby newbie I must admit that this state of brokenness is
making me a little nervous about my Ruby based projects that I am
embarking on.  I'm somewhat of a beginner and I really rely on help from
others through forums, documentation and web sites.

Thanks,
cere
