[Wxruby-dev] RubyForge...

I posted to this to RubyTalk...

All,

I want to announce that we (InfoEther) have stood up a community server 
for Ruby projects here:

    http://www.rubyforge.org

This runs GForge (http://www.gforge.org), and provides 
sourceforge/savannah-like capabilities for Ruby projects 
(cvs/web/files/mail/bugs/etc).  I already moved my jabber4r library 
(http://jabber4r.rubyforge.org) over and have a little surprise project 
started there also (rendezvous for Ruby).

The current RubyForge admin is my InfoEther cohort, Tom Copeland, who 
also has committer rights to GForge...so we will be well supported.  I 
cannot say that we can host everyone's projects, but we will do so for 
as many as we can.  The system is UPS'ed and backups are automatic both 
onsite and offsite...and yes...it is in my basement (if PragDave can 
run RubyGarden, I can run this :-)

Tom is also working on a Ruby script to export Sourceforge project data 
and import it into RubyForge, so for those that have pre-existing 
projects we can help in moving them if you want to.

If you have questions, please email me directly, or post a 
question/comment through the support project 
(http://rubyforge.org/projects/support/) on RubyForge.

I'd like to offer a special thanks to Tom Copeland and Dave Craine for 
setting up this machine/service:

    class String; def thanks!; puts "Thanks #{self}!"; end; end
    %w{ Tom Dave }.each { | dude | dude.thanks! }

Kevin...I would really like wxruby on RubyForge.  Curt has said as 
much, but l'll leave it up to you as whether you want to, and if so 
when.

Best,

Rich
