I think that in a split-world, Weekly News would become more important than
ever.  If ruby-talk is still the epicenter of Ruby activity (relative to the
other lists, that is), then any other list that is active enough can produce a
Weekly News (or perhaps some other periodicity) and post it to -talk.

It will help us keep more informed.

Thanks for the great service.
