Looks like the RAA is “not only merely dead. She’s really most  
sincerely dead”.

[http://raa.ruby-lang.org/](http://raa.ruby-lang.org/)

Notice SPAM, notice no new projects, etc.

Maybe it’s time to take the site down? It can’t possible reflect well  
on Ruby.

Just a passing thought,  
T.

You could create an RAA github account and siphon over all the source  
code into git repositories. Just for posterity. There is still some  
good stuff there.

I don’t see any spam. I do see 5 new projects listed in the last week.

Not everyone has their project on RF or Github.

Oh, I see it now. I looked at the first one (which is legit). The others  
are  
indeed spam.

I don’t mind if RAA goes away as long as those projects not on RF or  
Github  
aren’t lost.
