Don't wait for approval from the whole community, because you're not
going to get it. There will always be some folks who think that all
communication about Ruby should be through a single central list. I
understand their motivation, but these folks have to realize that a
newbie is going to be seriously intimidated by a high-traffic list
discussing everything from basic Ruby questions to the fundamental
underpinnings of object-orientation and occasional digressions about
the One True Operating System.

I think that a Newbie list and site is a great idea, and have been
pondering the same thing for a while. I say "go for it", and folks who
want to learn or teach will be drawn to it like moths to a flame.

Or something like that :-)
