Does anybody know when it will be back up?

It took a second to load but it’s up for me.

There is a post on the Ruby board saying its all up now  
([RubyForge update (final) - Ruby - Ruby-Forum](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/70077)) but when I try to load:  
[http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/)  
I still get the maintenance message.

Yup, the DNS is still propagating around, probably. You can read the  
announcement about the downtime here:

[http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/198093](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/198093)

Next time I’ll send the announcement to this list as well, sorry about  
that!

Yours,

Tom

Please be aware the neither the Ruby nor the Rails items on  
[ruby-forum.com](http://ruby-forum.com) are “boards.” They are gateways to mailing lists. I  
strongly suggest that you think of them as mailing lists with a web  
interface through [ruby-forum.com](http://ruby-forum.com) instead of a web board.

Just tried it (3:16PM CDT = 9:16PM UTC) and got the following screen:

RubyForge is down for maintenance… should be back up in a few hours.

In the meantime, why not skim through [ruby-doc.org](http://ruby-doc.org)? Or you may want to  
peruse this excellent blog.
