From: Sean Chittenden Date: 2002-10-02T04:29:33+09:00 Subject: Re: ruby-talk separation, part II FreeBSD's got a decent setup. Few additions to the list here: > Here are just a few suggestions of mail lists > (Most of these are not original, but come from other > groups I have seen, eg, FreeBSD) > > cvs Changes made to the source tree > ruby-advocacy Ruby Evangelism > ruby-announce Important events and project milestones > ruby-arch Architecture and design discussions > ruby-bugs Bug reports ^^^^^^^^^ It'd be nice if this were a subscribable list w/ archives, I'm sure that's where I would've found a bit about mark/sweep in the past. :) > ruby-chat Non-technical items related to the Ruby community > ruby-config Development of Ruby installation and configuration tools > ruby-core Discussion concerning RCR's and patches for Ruby > ruby-docs Discussion concerning Ruby and library documentation > ruby-jobs Ruby employment and consulting opportunities > ruby-newbies New Ruby users activities and discussions > ruby-questions User questions and technical support > ruby-security Security issues > ruby-test Where to send your test messages instead of one of the actual lists > ruby-www Issues for using Ruby with http servers Few more to suggest: ruby-performance ruby-xml ruby-database ruby-gui ruby-extending ruby-embedding I know this'd spread things thin... but would that necessarily be a bad thing? I'm sure many people would be on all of the lists, myself included, but the important thing would be that they could prioritize their time accordingly. -sc PS If in one weeks time I haven't heard of any objections, I will wholesale create all of these lists above plus any other suggested lists and toss them on rubynet.org along with an updated site and links pointing to all of the lists, descriptions of the lists, and archives. Searchable archives I'll be able to have up in a week or so after that. -- Sean Chittenden
