so it seems like Google created Ruby Talk and anything posted to Ruby
Talk will post to comp.lang.ruby.
but then people replying on the comp.lang.ruby will not get the answer
through to the Ruby Talk poster...
and then, Ruby Forum is even on top of Ruby Talk and comp.lang.ruby...
so people replying in Ruby Talk or comp.lang.ruby will not get the
answer through to Ruby Forum...
So... what is the good method? Start a new post in Ruby Forum so that
it can get to the biggest audience group. But then, check answers in
all 3 places?

I dont know but I rarely check on the mailing list these days with this
forum here available.
Ruby-Forum is connected to the mailing list. All posts from the forum
are sent to the mailing list; the other way round is a bit more
difficult. The gateway was a bit flaky in this direction, and in case of
a temporary outage the mails from that period wouldn't be processed
automatically when the software came back up. I'm importing all the
missing posts that have accumulated right now, which will be quite a
flood...
The good news is that I have completely rewritten the gateway software
today, it's much more robust now, and I am confident that problems like
this won't happen anymore. Sorry for the trouble.
this is replying from Google's Ruby Talk...
let's see where it will get to...

Looks like
Ruby Forum > ( Ruby Talk = comp.lang.ruby )
posting to Ruby Forumwill post to all three
posting to Ruby Talk or comp.lang.ruby will automatically post to the
other, but won't go to Ruby Forum.
so if you ask a question here, there might be answer in comp.lang.ruby
waiting for you which you didn't know about, unless you subscribe to
Ruby Talk or comp.lang.ruby by email.

so if you want an answer or a new posting to get to the widest audience
group, always use Ruby Forum to post...

I'm pretty sure ruby-forum and ruby-talk are inter-changeable (so long as
you're subscribed) and I'd imagine with the ruby-talk <-> usenet gateway
that the same goes for usenet, though I've not seen messages marked as from
there.

And this from the Ruby-Talk Mailing List
If I had usenet service, I'd probably use comp.lang.ruby instead.

so is it that Ruby Talk was first created by Matz... and then Google
just makes a mirror of it?
Google, as far as I know, only archieves and provides http interface to
comp.lang.ruby. Google Groups provides http interface to many Usenet
newsgroups. So, that's not anything specific to comp.lang.ruby. You seem to
be accessing this newsgroup via Google Groups. Many people, use a news
reader and access it via NNTP. You would need to setup your news reader
(Outlook Express on Windows, or Mozilla Thunderbird on Linux, for example)
to access this news group this way.
To acess Ruby Talk or other mailing lists, you would need to subscribe by
sending an e-mail to ruby-lang.org
(mailto:ruby-talk-ctl@ruby-lang.org?subject=subscribe&body=subscribe%20YourFirstName%20YourFamilyName)
. See the links for the mailing list at the bottom of the page in the link:
Perhaps you should tell the ruby-forum maintainer to check for
possible problems, with the same info as you provided to James? For me
it seems to be a problem on their (receving) side (unless it's settled
already).

You are right. The only issue I am aware of ATM is that the news->email gateway has some delays on the news side. We probably can't do much about it but you should be aware of this.
Kind regards

The half of the gateway that reads news messages and sends them as emails runs as a cron job every five minutes. If the message has hit our host by the next run, that should be the biggest delay.

Hmm.. how long are those delays? Summercool posted messages from
comp.lang.ruby about 6 hours ago that still aren't showing on ruby-talk.
What's the source of them, do you know? Just a slow news provider?
