Although English is not my native language I have opened up this discussion to everyone on purpose, actually I never considered it closed. If you believe that you want to run Ruby Quiz as a 1 man show, you shall do so, but how would this influence our (in that case without you) decision to run it as a team effort? There might even be two Ruby quizzes who knows? But this discussion risks indeed high traffic! Could we maybe get a RubyQuiz2 Mailing List? I have no knowledge on these things, so if one kind soul could help that would be appreciated, if not I'll try to work it out by myself :(. Cheers and apologies to those not interested in the topic (but why should they read the thread on the other hand?).
