You should sign up for both NYC groups.
First, Ruby-NYC, which covers anything ruby-related. This has
been around awhile.
Then, RubyOnRails-NYC, which I just started today.

I live in NY (Long Island) and I'm interested in Ruby/RoR meetup. Where do I sign up?

Pat,
I fully agree about learning from the 'elders', and that cooperation
and
cross-talk should be encouraged from the start. I don't think
fragmenting interests is too much of a concern at this point, though, as
anyone coding for RoR is likely to be pretty interested in Ruby as a
language anyway. I certainly am. In fact I plan to encourage anyone
coming to the RoR to go to the NYC.rb as well. Depending on the size of
the interest (I have 4 ppl so far), maybe we'll ask the NYC.rb leader
(Francis I know you're on ruby-talk) to set aside some time for each
meeting just to focus on RoR.My rationale for wanting to start a Rails-specific group is that the
ruby-nyc group is for the language, and those members have interests
that don't necessarily deal directly with the web. While they would
probably be interested to hear new members talk about Rails (and they
were when I did so), I wouldn't want to alienate them by hogging the
discussion about the Web.Since this is going to the Ruby-talk list... any Ruby folks there
interested in a NYC meetup?Matt
