Virtual Ruby Group

No moonedit! Moonedit is not very cross-platform despite the authors
claims to the contrary.
So far all he has is binaries (no source code) for Linux, FreeBSD, and
Windows on x86 platforms.
What about us PPC (or other Archs/Systems) users?

Anyway, it sounds like it was a suggestion to be incorporated into the
FreeRide project.

I just wanted to raise a point that we should always try to support as
many platforms as possible.

Doing it as a FreeRIDE plugin is definitely possible. But if you are mainly
concerned about the number of platforms/architectures that can be support,
you should first look at what FXRuby/Fox supports (since that is what
FreeRIDE uses for its GUI). If FXRuby runs everywhere that you want, then
FreeRIDE is a viable option.

Well, as (from what I hear) we're not just doing a plain nopaste copy,
we should probably discuss this and
clarify what features we want to include. Once that's done, we can
start breaking it down into manageable
pieces and coordinating on who does what.

So... should we keep imposing on the hospitality of the main ruby list,
or should we take such a discussion elsewhere?

Yes, nopaste first! Who heads up nopaste, who do we need to be in
collaboration with?

Yep, makes sense.

maybe a mix of IRC and the RubyGarden wiki?

It looks like it's got cool functionality. Are you suggesting to utilize
this in the FreeRide project, or for people to use MoonEdit?

Right now, I'm just getting the word out since I was astonished to
find it. Long term, the answer can be either, or both.

I just felt that those of us who can use it should know about it. I'm
all for the "team version of nopaste" (I better be, I suggested it),
and I think this _could_ be used to help that along. It's just a
question of who can use it, and when.

Once we have the nopaste project done, we can add this to our dream
list (aka: future projects). If we could do a truly cross-platform
version of MoonEdit, that would be fantastic -- and would probably
make many ppl happy -- including Shalev

I'm inclined to go with a combination of an ML and a wiki. This
allows us poor working saps to keep up, and get in on the discussion,
and gives everyone easy access to the entire groups content quickly.

How about mirroring the IRC to a mailing list?

Or a forum? Usenet group? Etc.

I currently have some extra hosting space that I could use for a wiki,
though I'm not sure about the mailing list.
Any suggestions as to which wiki to use (until we make our own that is)?

I suggest and vote for Ruwiki. I have an idea for getting the ML up and
going, but I need to check with someone first...bbs

Tanner, beat me to it! Great job! Tanner got an approved Ruby Virtual
Users Group on RubyForge:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-vug/

Mailing list:

http://rubyforge.org/mail/?group_id=569

See you guys there!

Doesn't really allow for any sort of communication from those on the
mailing list to those on IRC. If you're going to generate logs from
IRC, you might as well just put them in a certain place on the Wiki.

As far as getting a mailing-list, etc going, we could sign up at
rubyforge, which would also give us some other tools to work with to
get started. If noone opposes (strongly ) I'll go ahead and create
a rubyforge project and mailing list for us. I'll post the
information back to this list when it's ready. Anyone have an issue
with that for getting started?

Wow, some mail server's queue is all messed up. I got your post about
the mailing list @ rubyforge over an hour ago. I just got this message.

I'm all for it, I'm already joined the mailing list! =)
