You can just post them here. If you feel more comfortable going to a  
RubyNuby specific site I think there is a forum. Just search the  
archives  
of this list:

[http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-talk/index.shtml](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-talk/index.shtml)  
[http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby](http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby)

Kind regards

To second what has already been said, don’t run away, join the fun.  
This is a nice place, because matz is nice. Start asking questions and  
soon you will be answering them as well.

You are welcome here

HA! No, kidding. Stick around. I’ve posted some pretty dumb questions  
and got some pretty great answers here. It’s a friendly crowd.
