Ruby Mailing Lists

There are several English speaking mailing lists (MLs) to talk about Ruby language itself.

• One is ruby-talk, which deals with general topics about Ruby.
• Another is ruby-core, which deals with core / implementation topics about Ruby, often used to run patches for review.
• There is also ruby-doc, discussing documentation standards and tools for Ruby.

Messages in ruby-talk ML and comp.lang.ruby  (See FAQ ) are replicated via a ML-NetNews gateway each other.
