Gmail is great for what it is, but I think the OP was looking for
something more durable -- a site like perlmonks where you've got got
not only the messages archived, but also tutuorial content and other
stuff (like user-owned pages filled with useful links, for example).
Besides that, messages there are rated and ranked, and everything is
easily searchable.

Perlmonks really is a very useful site that's much more than a mailing
list. I agree that it'd be great for the Ruby community to have a site
like it.

Dunno if I'd call it RubyNuns though. ;)
