I'd like to propose the creation of macruby-users mailing list or an appropriate discussion board (the latter maybe even preferred). I'm thinking of a place for people using MacRuby for their apps, but not necessarily hacking on MacRuby itself. It feels a little intimidating to post to a "-devel" group, and I feel even I might be of some help to folks at a "-users" group. I don't mind starting something myself, but maybe an "official" discussion board is on the way. -- Regards, Łukasz Adamczak
Hi Łukasz, This mailing-list was usually created for all people developing with MacRuby, not necessarily people developing MacRuby itself. But I can understand that the group name is ambiguous. Just to let everyone know, there is absolutely no problem posting anything related to MacRuby on this list. It's also true that there are more users discussions than core discussions here, but this might change once we get more people involved in the project. I think that the list traffic is still very light so I wonder if we need 2 separate lists. Any though? If most people agree to create a -users group I can ask for an official (macosforge.org) one.

Personally, I'm in favor of a single mailing list, especially with a small group like this. If there is some perception that a name ending in -devel is intimidating, maybe we should just be pitched as "the MacRuby mailing list" :) Best, Jeremy On Fri, May 22, 2009 at 10:35 AM, Laurent Sansonetti <lsansonetti@apple.com> wrote:

If another list is created, could you please consider something a little more flexible than this kind of (old fashioned) mailing list? Something with an RSS feed would make it easier to integrate with other feed subscriptions. And maybe something with a better designed/ more modern web interface? Paul Howson
Paul, I don't think there will be any other lists and we end up creating a new one, that would be a macosforge which would have the same features as the one currently used. - Matt On Sun, May 24, 2009 at 12:44 AM, Paul Howson <paul-lists@tdgq.com.au>wrote:

Laurent, thanks for clearing that up. For me personally this list has proven very helpful and I know I'm getting quality answers here. I was a little afraid it was a wrong place for my lowly problems, but I'm not anymore. I agree the idea of a separate list can be postponed until a later time. -- Regards, Łukasz Adamczak

Bleh...most projects I'm on have separate dev and user lists, and I hate it (including JRuby). Half the time people aren't sure which list to post to, and none of those projects (nor MacRuby) have enough traffic to really need separate lists. I'd say keep it all on one list for as long as possible. - Charlie
