Anyone know what’s up with RubyForge? I submitted a new project three days ago and I haven’t heard back. Also, the RubyForge home page hasn’t changed in three days. While I’m thrilled to see my previous release (AlterEgo) at the top of RubyForge news for three days in a row, I’d be even more thrilled to be able to release my latest project! – Avdi Home: [http://avdi.org](http://avdi.org) Developer Blog: [Avdi Grimm, Code Cleric](http://avdi.org/devblog/) Twitter: [http://twitter.com/avdi](http://twitter.com/avdi) Journal: [http://avdi.livejournal.com](http://avdi.livejournal.com) ---

News usually comes out in spurts, which is good b/c it lets stuff stay on the board for a while. They are usually pretty prompt about approving projects, but it can take a few days longer than expected sometimes. Give it another day or two and then contact them if nothing happens. T. ---

I can’t help you with the projects, but I can address the news. I’ve been doing news approvals every few days, because A) I’m lazy and B) that’s The Way It’s Always Been. Of course my “every few days” is longer than previous… That said, I’m open to the idea of running news more often. What do people want to see? There are tons of stories submitted every day, if they got run every 6 hours (say) there are days in which they wouldn’t stay on the front page for a whole day. Ben ---

I had assumed that the rate of project approvals and the rate of news update was related (i.e. the same person/people doing it). I don’t really have an opinion on how fast the front page is updated, although once a day would probably be good for appearances (“watch those busy Ruby beavers go!”). – Avdi Home: [http://avdi.org](http://avdi.org) Developer Blog: [Avdi Grimm, Code Cleric](http://avdi.org/devblog/) Twitter: [http://twitter.com/avdi](http://twitter.com/avdi) Journal: [http://avdi.livejournal.com](http://avdi.livejournal.com) ---

Sorry for the delay; I approved all the pending projects yesterday. I’ll try to get those done at more frequent intervals too, Yours, Tom ---

A few months ago I took over the news approvals, but I assume it’s still just Tom doing projects. > I don’t really have an opinion on how fast the front page is updated, > although once a day would probably be good for appearances (“watch > those busy Ruby beavers go!”). I think you’re probably right, and I’ve been trying to be better about it. I’ll make this my goal. Ben
