Kind All,

Two things. Which forum is for best for posting “Ruby coding problems”  
for which one seeks help and/or advice? Secondly, is there an  
instructional page that tells me what forums apply to what? The Forum  
list given in the navagation pane is not totally clear in this regard  
and I don’t want to make mis-directed postings going forward. Thanks.

D.B.

The ruby-talk list, AKA com.lang.ruby

You’d have to contact whomever runs the particular forum site in  
question; there are various sites that mirror the ruby-talk list.
