Also, bookmarked page:
 http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/index.html  (fails 404)

.... but this is OK:

As to ruby bug reports, I like seeing the English reports here
(or on ruby-core) so that folks are able to verify them, but
it's a bit too public for casual reporting.

Wheras some groups get really offended by:
  Subject: [BUG] ...

- it doesn't seem to cause a bad reaction here, although
  Subject: [bug?] ...       (or similar) might be safer
unless the poster is fairly sure :-)


ruby-bugs is a great system to have unless (I guess) you're one
of the souls on the receiving end who has to keep up with
administering them (often in a language other than their first?).

How about an anonymous web-form (with some abuse protection)
on ruby-lang that formats, then SMTPs reports to ruby-talk?

Too spammy?                    (I'm not volunteering, btw ;)
