I searched on the pages but they have no impressum. (You know, in germany there are lawyers suing you if you have no impressum available "from each page and without scrolling on a 800x600 screen". Really)

Are these the same ones who do illegal file sharing web pages and the same ones who try to make children run their dialers?
who are the editors of the ruby webpages? Especially
ruby-lang.org
rubygarden.org
ruby-doc.org

What's an 'impressum'? I'm assuming from the context that it's the name
of the page editor.

So you're saying that the lawsuit situation is even worse in Germany than
in the US? That's pretty hard to do.
Why would lawyers sue if you don't list the page editor (and how do they
find you in that case)?

James Britt is the editor of ruby-doc.org.
Weren't you at RubyConf2004? Shame on you!

I'm in Germany now. I'd better update the main page before lawyers hunt me down.

'impress', 'masthead', 'flag' (from dict.leo.org)

More or less. It's a set of information that German websites (whatever that means: text in German? Web server located in Germany? Company/Web master located in Germany?) have to place at an easy-to-find place on the web site.
It has to contain the name and postal address, a phone number and a way to 'easily communicate electronically' (read: e-mail) as well as some other Germany-specific stuff.
This is due to our laws and other regulation we Germany apparently love so much (which means that I'm rather untypical BTW)...
So you're saying that the lawsuit situation is even worse in Germany than in the US? That's pretty hard to do.
It's worse in the sense the we have way to many laws, by-laws, decrees, regulations and what not. But I'm getting slightly off-topic, sorry.
Why would lawyers sue if you don't list the page editor (and how do they find you in that case)?
Just because there's a law that demands putting that very information on your web site. In a place that's easy to find.
And we have the 'law against unfair competition'. Which might (or might not, the lawyers and courts are still dealing with this) mean that you act unfair if you don't make that piece of information public in the 'correct' way. :-/
That reminds me of the song I heard this morning: "It's a mad world."
Anyway, back to that Good Things in life, which in this case means: Ruby.
