It’s better to discuss specific rails problems at rails group, see  
[Ruby on Rails — Community](http://rubyonrails.com/community) - there are more knowledgeable people  
there

Here people discuss more general ruby issues.

These are just rules, and sometimes they just have to be broken 😉

As Jano mentioned, the rails list is better for those topics, but I  
just want to thank you for being polite and asking whether or not  
something is on topic. If more new subscribers took that approach, I  
think there would be less friction around here.

General Ruby topics and discussions on Ruby software that may not have  
a community of its own developed yet are usually okay here.
