The list is ruby-talk, not c-ruby-talk or mri-talk, so I vote Yes on general JRuby usage questions. (Of course, I do a lot of work with JRuby, so I'm biased. But Ruby is Ruby, and this list seems amenable to question on using C extensions and such, so I think we're all good.) -- James Britt www.happycamperstudios.com - Wicked Cool Coding www.jamesbritt.com - Playing with Better Toys www.ruby-doc.org - Ruby Help & Documentation www.rubystuff.com - The Ruby Store for Ruby Stuff
