Great! 

To clarify for others, this is the comp.lang.ruby
newsgroup FAQ, not a translation of the Ruby FAQ.

Mir sehr interessant. :)

You are ahead of me, as I must admit I maintain 
the text and HTML versions of the English FAQ
separately. (A violation of the DRY Principle
from the Pragmatic Programmers -- "Don't Repeat
Yourself.")

May I look at this script to see how you've 
handled it?

I'll add the German link to the English FAQ; and
I'll change the wording to say that the English
FAQ is posted monthly. Then we can stay in sync 
better.

Since comp.lang.ruby is an English-speaking group,
there is no need to post the FAQ in another 
language. And I will make sure the link is visible
near the top of the FAQ.
