Does anyone know where the Ruby FAQs are gone to? The two sites which had hosted the FAQs until recently, [http://dev.rubycentral.com/faq/rubyfaq.html](http://dev.rubycentral.com/faq/rubyfaq.html) [http://www.rubygarden.org/faq/](http://www.rubygarden.org/faq/) don’t seem to work anymore. The former maintainer of the FAQ, Dave T., had explained to me a couple of weeks ago that he hopes to find a way of hosting and maintaining the FAQs again some time later in this year, but in the meantime, I think even an unmaintained, old version of the FAQ would be useful. Does someone happen to have downloaded a local copy, so we could publish it somewhere, even if it is an interim solution only? Ronald ---

The FAQ has been officially hosted at RubyGarden for a couple of years. There was an old, legacy version still reachable through [rubycentral.com](http://rubycentral.com) until recently; that domain has now been transferred to Ruby Central, so it’s all consolidated and there should be just one FAQ. However… we have been having DNS pains. (Long story, not specific to the [rubycentral.com](http://rubycentral.com) domain.) Right now you should be able to get the FAQ at: [http://faq.rubygarden.org](http://faq.rubygarden.org) [http://www.rubycentral.com/faq](http://www.rubycentral.com/faq) which I thought were the most common ways to get to the new and old one, respectively (and now they both go to the new one). I can try to add some aliases but if you use those you should be OK – please let me know if not. Thanks – David ---

I think Chad just (in the past 1/2-hour) did some DNS fixing. See if they work now. David ---

II P.S. This issue arose due to links on the Ruby home page we are trying to fix. ---
