I am pleased to announce the creation of a small wiki page designed to  
try and serve as a FAQ for ruby-talk.

[http://wiki.github.com/rdp/ruby\_talk\_faq](http://wiki.github.com/rdp/ruby_talk_faq)

Please feel free to add to it and use it.

Thanks!

Isn’t filing a feature request on the Ruby Issue Tracker  
[http://redmine.ruby-lang.org](http://redmine.ruby-lang.org) the newest way to submit an RCR?

Thanks for your efforts, Roger…

This is a little embarrassing to me, as it points up how I  
have not done my job (and how I have become disconnected  
from the Ruby community).

The original FAQ was created by Conrad Schneiker, who passed  
it off to me in 2001 or so.

I used to have a process that would post it monthly. But my cron file  
kept getting deleted, and the whole process did not survive server  
crashes and webhost changes and so on.

The original can still be found here:  
[http://rubyhacker.com/clrFAQ.html](http://rubyhacker.com/clrFAQ.html)

But at a glance, I have not updated it in more than four years.

I’m a fan of “history” – Let’s either combine these or cross-reference  
them, so the historical information is not lost.

Thanks,  
Hal F.

Sounds like a great idea. I will create a link to it now 🙂

Thanks!
