Hi All,

I was thinking about adding a page to the RoR wiki that had a list of  
RoR release versions, and a status for each.

(This all stemmed from me wanting to release a 2.2.2 app when 2.3.3 is  
current, and not having any idea whether 2.2.2 is considered safe to  
release, or whether it had been deprecated for any reason.)

Anyhow, if I was to create a page, who would I need to speak to to  
obtain that information?

So far I’ve been going on the impression I get from checking both bug  
trackers and speaking to people on IRC, but those aren’t the kind of  
data I’d like to use to create a status page on the wiki 🙂

Yours,  
Duncan

Ultimately, all such a status page would say was, “Upgrade as soon as  
you can; don’t start new projects on old versions”. Rails isn’t like a  
Linux distribution, where there are multiple supported versions.  
Occasionally a really severe security bug hits and the patch is ported  
to previous versions, but that’s only happened once or twice in  
several years. Otherwise, development and support is focused on the  
current version. If you show up and report a bug in 2.2.2, the first  
question is likely to be “have you tried upgrading?”.
