Hi everyone,

as you may or may not have noticed, the only German-language forum on  
the Ruby programming language, \<[http://forum.ruby-portal.de](http://forum.ruby-portal.de)\>, closes due  
to lack of someone willing to do the administration[1]. However, I as  
one of the moderators of this forum (in consent with the other  
moderators) am proud to announce that the forum is replaced by an  
official ruby-de mailinglist that is hosted on [ruby-lang.org](http://ruby-lang.org)[2], just  
like Ruby-Talk is! Thus, if you are a member of the German Ruby forum,  
you are encouraged to subscribe to the new [ruby-de@ruby-lang.org](mailto:ruby-de@ruby-lang.org)  
mailinglist, either by using the web interface[3], or by emailing (in  
plaintext, please) to [ruby-de-request@ruby-lang.org](mailto:ruby-de-request@ruby-lang.org) with subject and  
body set to "subscribe".

Of course, if you are not a member of the forum, but still are  
interested in participating in a German-speaking mailinglist on Ruby,  
you are welcomed as well.

Greetings  
Marvin
