Is the [rubygarden.org](http://rubygarden.org) site still in operation? The URL is taking me to a domain park. – Bill Rutiser ---

I’m under the impression it had shutdown due to spam. For anyone listening, I think Ruby could really use a general-purpose wiki to handle FAQs, compare Ruby programs like servers and databases, and point to good books and blogs. Daniel Brumbaugh K. ---

So, that’d be… oh, I don’t know… rubygarden? Seriously, I would be a little annoyed if it has just disappeared, there was some good content on there. – Thomas A. ---

> So, that’d be… oh, I don’t know… rubygarden? I believe an emphasis is rather in “providing all that is rather important on one site”. With “one site” i refer to the official rube hompage, and I also personally wouldn’t mind if the official ruby webpage became more “feature rich”. That being said, I never used or visited rubygarden much, and I cant recall being there in the last ~3 years. ---

I didn’t even think of that. Thanks. > I can’t help you there.

TryRuby is an invaluable service for quickly redirecting people interested in checking Ruby out. -dayne ---

Between losing \_why’s wonderful documentation and the rubygarden wiki, all my starting references and things I’d point people to for learning ruby are being vaporized. Even a read-only version would be nice (spam sucks). If it has been officially retired, then some cleanup ought to be done to remove references from the ruby-lang website and some other prominent rubyist websites. -dayne
