Well I believe that Ruby quizzes should be fun and not a competition, and for I know up to know most people seem to agree with this. Speak up the others thoug. But if you like competitive quizzes than a RQTeam should surely have some place for them too, maybe more people like that than some of us think? I also like James' idea of having different quizzes, for that we need a team of course. I was also wondering if a facebook group (secret to avoid spoilers) would be a good working tool for a RQTeam. I have created such a group and will gladly invite whoever is interested. Just drop a mail or a message on Facebook. And as for the Ruby Forge project I am looking for a leader ....
