I poked around various directories on the new [rubycentral.org](http://rubycentral.org) server… I don’t see any trace of it. I’ll ask Chad if he knows of a backup anywhere… but I think it was such a mess (e.g., GB upon GB of spam revisions mixed in with the good bits) that I didn’t migrate it over… now I’m wishing I had, of course… Yours, Tom ---

It’s sometimes possible to retrieve it from [archive.org](http://archive.org), but it’s a painful process.

I’ve been fleshing out some tutorials on the ruby wikibook: [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ruby\_Programming](http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ruby_Programming) Does that seem like a good idea to use as a replacement? -r
