Subject: [ANN] RubyGarden FAQ Revival

Hello everyone,

  I'm happier than you can imagine to announce that we now have an
improved RubyGarden FAQ available at:

http://www.rubygarden.org/faq

  Many of you have experienced problems with the FAQ going down over
the past several months.  I have wrestled with it unsuccessfully until
last weekend when David Alan Black took it upon himself to do a
rewrite in Rails (http://www.rubyonrails.org).  Amazingly, he had the
first cut of replicating the old FAQ code done in what seemed like
less than an hour.

  What does this change mean to you?  Most importantly, the FAQ is now
infrastructurally healthier, so it should be much easier to keep up to
date.  David has already start with some preliminary weeding before
this release, so things should already be cleaner and more relevant as
a result.

  To propose a new question or to leave a comment, you are now
required to register.  With the endless conversations about Wiki spam
here, I don't think I have to explain why.

  This release is part of a greater RubyGarden revitalization that is
underway.  If you have ideas for content and/or RubyGarden
improvements, now's a great time to let me know.

  Finally, thanks to Dave Thomas who wrote the original FAQ code,
which eventually fell sick due entirely to the neglect it has suffered
over the past few months.

Enjoy, and happy Rubying!
Chad
