Just live:

Ruby Newsgroup Archive : A simple & searchable web-archive for
comp.lang.ruby. (build with Ruby on Rails). Find only anwers because we
do not show messages without a reply. :wink:

How is it better than:

http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-talk/index.shtml

Search seems broken, I get 0 hits for my name, but nearly 4000 results
on the official archive.

The name of the poster is not indexed currently. Only message body &
subject are. I believe itā€™s not really needed. Iā€™m pondering if I
should make a top x of posters page, but for now itā€™s more important to
get a bigger set of past usenet messages.

Iā€™m guessing it hasnā€™t indexed many messages yet? I get only two hits
for the word ā€œduckā€. :wink:

At any rate, I can see how something like this could potentially
evolve into something useful, although I agree with Eric H. that
youā€™ve got some work in front of you to make it better (for some
purposes) than either blade or the Google G. interface.

Ah, I guess in these days of google to expect full-text search by
default. I know I definitely search the archive by name often ā€“
Neukirchen, Fernandez, Iā€™m often looking for a certain someoneā€™s work.

Or Nabble, or gmane, or any of the countless other tools that already
do this quite nicely.
