“Programming Ruby” author Dave Thomas of the Pragmatic Programmers announced plans for a series of Ruby books from the Pragmatic Bookshelf (the Pragmatic Programmers’ own imprint). “The intent is to create a series of books with a deeply practical focus. We won’t
just document APIs. Instead, we want to show how to get value from those APIs—-how to solve real-world problems.”
See the full announcement for more information, including follow-up guidelines for potential authors.

A link to Ruby Forum was added to Community
Alexey Verkhovsky saids, `Ruby Forum is a newly created bulletin board for discussing Ruby. Unlike ruby-talk mailing list, it allows anonymous posting and implements more understandable interface for searching. Intended target audience of this forum is newcomers to Ruby that are not committed enough to subscribe to
a 100+ posts/day mailing list.’

Anonymous CVS repository for csv(lib/csv) and soap4r(lib/soap4r)
were once released to public at 2004-07-05 15:30:00 JST(2004-07-05
06:30:00 UTC). But I, the maintainer of these repository, found my
checking process of CVS repository was not enough. So I suspended the
repositories again. Users who checkout these repositories from
2004-07-05 15:30:00 UTC”>JST to 2004-07-06 16:30:00
UTC”>JST must check your CVS workspace. I’m sorry
for the trouble this error caused you.
I’ll report again after confirmation of these repositories.
csv and soap libraries which are bundled to ruby’s repository(/src/ruby)
were confirmed that it is safe.

lib/soap4r, lib/csv, mod_ruby-old were added to the Anonymous CVS repository.

The ruby-talk mailing has changed its posting policy. The list now requires one to be a member before posting a message. This is a change from the previous “anyone may post” policy.
If you’ve sent some recent list messages, but have not seen them on the list, check if you’re using an appropriate “from” address, and look for any automated list admin messages coming back.
