Absolutely. But maybe we could use the opportunity (if we actually *do* 
get the domain) to make a better site. One of the reasons I haven't 
gotten started on Ruby until now is that I could find a documentation of 
the high quality of php.net. doc.ruby.net would be ideal for such a 
documentation site (maybe a wiki?)

But first thing first. Let's get the domain first, give it to the 
ruby-lang.org guys, and then discuss what to do next.
