Is the content, spam-laden or otherwise, still available somewhere?
I'd happily volunteer to compile a static version... there was too
much good stuff there to lose it forever.

I poked around various directories on the new rubycentral.org server... =
I don't see any trace of it. I'll ask Chad if he knows of a backup =
anywhere... but I think it was such a mess (e.g., GB upon GB of spam =
revisions mixed in with the good bits) that I didn't migrate it over... =
now I'm wishing I had, of course...

Does that seem like a good idea to use as a replacement?
