When you see [ANN] in the subject of an email on this ruby-talk list, it 
signifies that the email is an announcement.

Typically, [ANN] announcements are about new releases of open source 
projects.  In case of an announcement about a commercial product or 
service, an [ADV] (signifying "ADVertisement") or [ANN/ADV] label is 
used instead.

Yes.  Other places for announcing Ruby projects are the RAA[1] and 
RubyForge[2].

I personally announce my open source projects to all three places 
simultaneously and also provide RSS feeds on my project websites so that 
interested users can also be notified of new releases via their RSS feed 
reader.

Cheers.
