Could someone tell me if removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid  
[mailto:removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) is the “main” list for rails? Or  
if there is another one?

Thanks,  
Chris

I would expect that all of that information is available to you from the  
[rubyonrails.org](http://rubyonrails.org) website…

No that is the only rails mailing list per say. there are some other  
forums and such out there. [Sitepoint.com](http://Sitepoint.com) has a ruby forum[1]. And  
there is an online forum version of the ruby-talk and the rails  
mailing lists here[2]. But the rails list you mentioned is the only  
mailing list I know of and it has tons of traffic as well.

But why would people need them?

I know of the only reasonable (heh) reason to split mailing  
lists: heavy traffic which can be clearly further categorized  
(e.g. there’s unstable users’ discussion going strong, or some  
particular technology emerges and corresponding threads maintain  
noticeable traffic by themselves).

Then forking specialized discussions into separate lists might  
help if done properly.
