You just entered it. Coincidentally, the list is also mirrored in
http://www.ruby-forum.com/forum/3

Well, a forum is different from a list (in my mind at least). I'm 
looking
for something like Google Groups. I really don't like mailing lists 
because
of the volume of emails (even in digest mode).

I know there is a ruby group but what about rails?

How does the forum interface to the list differ from any other forum? 
You don't have to subscribe to the list, just hang around in 
http://www.ruby-forum.com and pick the topics that you find interesting.

Thank you.  I just found it prior to your response.  ruby-forum is what 
I was looking for!

I actually set-up a forum and never got around to promoting it at
all.  But I promise that I would lovingly maintain it if folks want
to start using it.  All it takes is a few people to start using it
and the snowball effect will perpetuate itself and then we can all
have a nice searchable forum to complement this list :-)

Any thoughts on how to improve it for the community?

There is also a fairly active ruby/rails forum on sitepoint.com:

I use a gmail account for mailing lists because it combines some of
the best features of mailing lists and forums.

This mailing list can be accessed, both for reading and posting,
through a Usenet news reader, at address

      news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails
