Hello,

OK, what do you suggest? There must be some way out :-)

The thing that Robert just described (everybody always asking the same 
things around) is quite well addressed (and working) on the XSLT mailing 
list:

http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/

Nice and clean posting guide lines - e.g.:

---------
Before You Post ... Do Your Homework

     * Check that your question isn't already answered in the XSL FAQ at 
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/.
     * Check that your question isn't already answered in the XSL-List 
archives at http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/.
---------
etc.

Of course they can do this because they have a *very* good and extensive 
FAQ - I am not sure if there is something analogous in the case of Ruby 
- but I am quite sure Ruby also has a searchable list archive.

It is also not just an existence of a FAQ or rules (although I guess the 
mere existence of such rules could improve the signal vs noise ratio) , 
but that they are somehow respected on the XSLT list. I don't know how 
are they doing this over there, but the first step should be to do 
something similar in the case of Ruby. What do you think?

Of course this is not the only one problem, but I think a relevant one,
and maybe a possible starting point...

Cheers,
Peter
