RubyBaby mentioned a tutorials site - is it worth making a new category 
on the Wiki for these? People can just throv up a page on their 
favourite library or feature. There's already a fair bit of 1.8-relate 
updates there in the section on picxaxe:TNG:

http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?ProgrammingRubyTwo

  If someone wants to make a tutorial website from the content thats 
fine by me,
but I only write HTML via RedCloth or Wiki these days (my wrists make 
crunching
noises once I've typed a few dozen "<" / ">" paics).

So what about a CategoryTutorial?

Incidentally sorry for posting to list. I know Hal asked for direct 
feedback but thats the 'reply-to' for you....
But I do think that Ruby books come out fairly rarely, so it's not
surprising that we want to try to get the most out of it :)
