I was just wondering if anyone knew why several GUI dev tools (FX, wx-,  
Gnome 2) have sublists on this mailing list rather than others (Shoes,  
QtRuby, et cetera)

Could we request a separate section just for GUI development? Just a  
thought, not meant to start a flame war…

What do you mean by “sublists”?

Are you aware that you are posting to a Usenet group and a mailing list?

[Ruby-forums.com](http://Ruby-forums.com) is merely a gateway to existing resources, so asking for  
a “section” makes little sense to many people.

More to the point, people with Ruby projects have the choice of running  
their own lists, and many do. I have no idea how things get selected  
for inclusion on [ruby-forum.com](http://ruby-forum.com), but if you do a bit of Googling I think  
you’ll find many of the mailing lists you think are missing.

The gateway I am using breaks the subjects down on the left side of the  
screen I didn’t know there was a specific term for that, so I just  
called them sublists…

Now I am aware that this site is a gateway to a Usenet group, I  
understand where to direct my question. _sigh_ Gone I guess are the days  
of yore when one used text only interfaces over a VM/CMS account to  
access the Usenet groups…thanks for the pointer…
